CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the plug from the socket before beginning any cleaning or maintenance operations.
Cleaning
To keep your microwave oven in the best condition, you are advised to clean regularly the door as well as the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and neutral soap or liquid detergent. Always keep the microwave outlet cover (F) free of fat or splashed grease. Never use abrasive detergents, scour- ing pads or tools with metal rivets when you clean the oven’s exterior. In addition, be careful not to let water or liquid detergent seep into the air and steam outlet slots located atop the oven. Do not use
Do not steam clean the inside of the oven.
Give a regular cleaning to the air intake holes found on the back of the oven so that they will not become blocked up with dust or dirt deposits as time goes by.
Every now and then, it will be necessary to remove the turntable (D) and its support device (E) and clean them, just as you must for the floor of the oven itself. Wash the turntable and its support device in sudsy water obtained by using neutral soap (these pieces may likewise be cleaned in a dish- washer). Never place the turntable in cold water after a prolonged heating session; the extreme thermal shock could irreparably damage the turntable. The turntable motor is sealed tight. When you are cleaning the floor of the oven, however, be careful not to let water seep under the turntable spindle (B).
