CARE AND CLEANING
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will
retain its looks and remain in good order. We will explain
here how you should care for and clean your appliance
correctly.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not
use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
WARNING
Risk of burns!
Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off.
Let the appliance cool down.
WARNING
Risk of serious damage to health!
Microwave energy may escape if the cooking
compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Never
use the appliance if the cooking compartment door or the
door seal is damaged. Contact the after-sales service.
NOTE:
•
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.
•
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.

using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in
