18.1 Safety information
Attention
Please observe the following safety notices, before you commence with cleaning the
device:
►
The device must be cleaned regularly and any food residues must be removed.
Insufficient cleanliness of the device can lead to the destruction of the surface, which for
its part can have a negative impact upon the service life of the device and can lead to a
dangerous condition of the device as well as fungal and bacterial contamination.
►
Switch the oven off prior to cleaning it and unplug the plug from the wall power outlet.
►
The cooking chamber is hot after it is used. There is a danger of burns! Wait until the
device has cooled down.
►
Clean the cooking chamber after use as soon as it has cooled down. Extended
waiting unnecessarily complicates cleaning and can make it impossible in extreme
cases. Excessive accumulations of dirt can even damage the device under certain
circumstances.
►
If dampness penetrates into the device, this can damage the electronic components.
Please ensure that no liquid can enter the interior of the device through the ventilation
slots.
►
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
►
Do not scrape off stubborn dirt with hard items.
►
Because of the hazards involved in repair or maintenance work for which the
radiation safety cover must be removed, any such work may only be carried out by a
skilled and qualified specialist.
18.2 Cleaning
Cooking chamber and inside of door
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.
After cleaning the interior space, leave the oven door open until the interior of the device is
completely dry.
Cleaning hint – If there are cooked food residues stuck to the inside walls of the oven,
there is an easy way to clean these: Place half a lemon into bowl, add 300 ml water and
microwave this for 10 minutes at full power. Then simply wipe the inside of the appliance
clean with a soft and dry cloth.
Front of device and operating panel
Clean the front of the device and the operating panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
