11. Cleaning and care
Poor device hygiene can lead to damage to the surfaces, which in turn can reduce
the lifespan of the device and even result in dangerous situations. Therefore, clean
the microwave regularly and remove all remaining food.
•
Switch the microwave off and pull the plug from the mains socket before
cleaning.
•
Keep the interior of the microwave clean. Wipe away splashes or spilled liquids
that attach to the microwave walls with a damp cloth. A mild cleaning solution
can be used for serious dirt. Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaners
or sharp metal scrapers for cleaning the viewing window because they could
scratch the surface and destroy the glass.
•
The external surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. In order to prevent
damage to the microwave´s internal operating parts, avoid allowing water to
penetrate into the ventilation openings.
•
Parts of the door, the viewing window, and especially the seal and the closing
mechanism should be cleaned carefully with a mild detergent solution. Pay
great attention to avoid damage to these parts.
•
Do not use a steam cleaner. The surfaces could be damaged.
•
The operating field may not become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When
cleaning the operating field, leave the door of the microwave open to prevent
the device being switched on by accident.
•
If steam collects inside or on the external areas, wipe it away with a soft cloth.
•
Steam may occur if the microwave is used with high humidity; this is normal.
•
The metal rotary plate must be removed occasionally for cleaning. Wash the
plate in warm water with a mild soap solution or in the dishwasher.
•
Then dry the rotary plate thoroughly with a soft cloth.
•
Wash the grill rack in warm water with a mild soap solution. Allow stubborn dirt
to soak for a few minutes.
•
Simply wipe the floor of the microwave with a mild cleaning solution.
•
Odours remaining in the microwave can be removed by placing a glass of water
with the juice and rind of a lemon into a deep container that is suitable for
microwave use and heating for 5 minutes. Wipe out thoroughly and dry with a
soft cloth.
•
If you have to replace the light in the microwave, please contact a qualified
specialist workshop or Medion Service.
