CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning is the only maintenance work that is normally required.

Failure to maintain the appliance in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface, 

which could adversely affect the service life of the appliance and may result in a hazardous 

situation.

Tips

Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive 
cleansers, steel wool pads, gritty wash-cloths, etc. 
which can damage the control panel, and the 
interior and exterior appliance surfaces.

Use a sponge with a mild detergent or paper towel 
with spray glass cleaner. 

Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel. 

Do not spray directly onto the appliance.

At regular intervals, especially if spills have 
occurred, remove the turntable and the turntable 
support, and wipe the base of the appliance clean.

NOTE: 

this appliance is designed to operate with the 

turntable in place. Do not operate the appliance 

when the turntable has been removed for cleaning.

Microwave oven interior

Use a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth to 
clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the 
door and the door opening.

Do not allow grease or food particles to build up 
around the door.

For stubborn stains, boil a cup of water in the 
microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will 
soften the marks.

Adding some lemon juice to a cup of water, placing 
this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes 
can eliminate odours inside the microwave oven 
cavity.

Do not use steam-cleaning appliances.

Grill element

The grill element does not need to be cleaned, 
because the intense heat will burn off any splashes, 
but the ceiling above it may need regular cleaning. 

Use warm water, detergent and a sponge to do 
this. If the grill is not used regularly, it should be 
run for 10 minutes a month.

Accessories

Soak the accessories in water with washing-up 
detergent immediately after use and handle them 
with oven gloves if they are still hot.

Food residues can be easily removed using a brush 
or sponge.

All accessories are dishwasher-safe.
