Cleaning the oven
The following parts of your microwave must be cleaned regularly to
avoid any accumulation of food particles and grease :
GB
• The inner and outer surfaces of your appliance,
• The door and its seals,
• The drive, the ring bearing and the turntable.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to dete-
rioration of the surface that could adversly affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hasardous situation.
Make sure that the door closes correctly.
Clean the outer surfaces with a soft cloth and soapy water. Rinse and dry carefully.
Remove any particles or stains inside your appliance or on the ring bearing
with a soapy cloth. Rinse and dry carefully. The grill element hinges down
to make it easier to clean the roof of the oven.
To help dislodge food particles and eliminate bad smells, put a glass of
lemon juice diluted in water on the turntable and run your appliance for 2
minutes at maximum power. The steam will soften the dirty marks. Rince
and dry
Take care not to allow water to run into the ventilation holes.
Never use abrasive or solvent cleaners.
Clean the door seals carefully, making sure that :
• There is no accumulation of particles,
• Nothing prevents the door from closing properly.
