16.2 Cleaning
Cooking chamber and inside of door
Danger of fire
► Always remove grease residues in the device, as these residues can otherwise ignite.
Keep the cooking chamber of the oven clean. Wipe off any spattered or spilt food from
the walls of the cooking chamber with a damp cloth.
If the oven is excessively dirty, you can use a mild cleaning agent.
Wipe the door, window and the door gaskets with a damp cloth, to remove any spatters
and spilt food. Residues on the door gasket can mean that the door does not close
properly any more, which will cause the microwaves to escape.
Wipe off any steam, which has settled on the oven door, with a soft cloth. This may be
the case if the device is used in an extremely damp environment and is normal.
Smells can be removed from the oven by mixing a cup of water with the juice and the
skin of a lemon, pouring this into a deep microwave-proof bowl and allowing it to cook in
Microwave mode for five minutes. Then, dry off the oven thoroughly with a soft cloth.
After cleaning the interior space, leave the oven door open until the interior of the device
is completely dry.
Front of device and operating panel
Clean the front of the device and the operating panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Please bear in mind that the operating panel does not get wet. Use a soft, damp cloth
for cleaning.
► Leave the oven door open to prevent the device from being re-started accidentally.
Exterior housing
Clean the exterior surfaces of the device with a damp cloth.
Turntable and rolling ring
The turntable must be removed and cleaned occasionally. Wash the turntable in a warm
soapy solution or in the dishwasher.
The rolling ring should be cleaned regularly to prevent excessive noise development or
rotational malfunctions.
The rolling ring can be washed in a mild soapy solution or in the dishwasher. Please
remember to put the rolling ring back again properly after cleaning it.
Wipe the bottom of the oven with a mild cleaning agent. If the floor of the oven is
excessively dirty, you can use a mild cleaning agent.
