12. OVEN CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required.
Warning! Your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly, with all food remains being removed.
If the microwave is not kept clean its surfaces may deteriorate, reducing the oven's working life
and possibly resulting in a dangerous situation.
Warning! Cleaning should be done with the oven power switched off. Take the plug out of
the socket or switch off the oven's power circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, scourers that scratch surfaces or
sharp objects, since stains may appear.
Do not use high pressure or stream jet cleaning appliances.
12.1. FRONT SURFACE
Normally you just need to clean the oven with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of
dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg white stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.
12.2. OVEN INTERIOR
After each time the oven is used, clean the inside walls with a damp cloth since this is the easiest
way to remove splashes or spots of food that may have stuck to the inside.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a non-aggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven
sprays or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning products.
Always keep the door and the oven front very clean to ensure that the door opens and closes
properly.
Make sure water does not enter the microwave ventilation holes.
Regularly clean the cavity base, especially after any liquid spillage.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of water on the cavity base and switch on the microwave
oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum power. The steam released will soften the dirt which can then
be cleaned easily using a soft cloth.
Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish) can be eliminated easily. Put a few drops of lemon juice
in a cup with water. Put a small spoon in the cup to avoid the water boiling over. Heat the water for
2 to 3 minutes at maximum microwave power.
