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.

Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use
any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
:
Risk of burns!
Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let
the appliance cool down.

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.
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.
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.
