Care and cleaning
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain
its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you
should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
In this section, you will find information on
■ Cleaning and care of your appliance
■ Cleaning agents
■ Cleaning the glass panels
ã=Risk of short circuit!
Never use high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners to clean
the oven.
ã=Risk of burns!
Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let
the appliance cool down.
Notes
■ Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■ Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
■ Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be
removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup
of water. Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent
delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at
maximum microwave power.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using
the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table.
Do not use
■ sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■ metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance
door,
■ metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
■ hard scouring pads and sponges,
■ cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.
Note: Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Cleaning the glass panels
The glass panels can be removed from the oven door for
cleaning.
ã=Risk of burns!
Do not remove the panels immediately after switching the
appliance off. The oven must be cold.
Removal
1. Open the oven door.
2. Undo the two screws on the door using a flat-bladed
screwdriver (blade width 8-11 mm). Hold the door panel
firmly while doing this. (Fig. A).
3. Close the door slowly and pull out the front panel upwards by
the door handle. (Fig. B).
4. Hold the intermediate panel firmly and press the safety catch
on the door upwards. Lift out the panel upwards. (Fig. C).
Notes
■ Clean the glass panel with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
■ Do not use any sharp or abrasive agents. The glass scraper
is not suitable. The glass could be damaged.
