10. Cleaning and care
WARNING!
Risk of injury from electric shock.
` Switch the microwave off and pull the plug from the
mains socket before cleaning.
Poor appliance hygiene can lead to damage to the surfaces, which in turn can re-
duce the lifespan of the appliance and even result in dangerous situations. There-
fore, clean the microwave regularly and remove all remaining food.
•
Keep the interior of the microwave clean. Wipe away splashes or spilled liquids
that attach to the microwave walls with a damp cloth. A mild cleaning solution
can be used for serious dirt. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or a sharp met-
al scraper for cleaning the viewing window on the appliance door because they
can scratch the surface and destroy the glass.
•
Do not use a steam cleaner. Surfaces could get damaged.
•
The external surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. In order to prevent
damage to the microwave's internal operating parts, avoid allowing water to
penetrate into the ventilation openings.
•
Parts of the door, the viewing window, and especially the seal and the closing
mechanism should be cleaned carefully with a mild detergent solution. Take
great care not to damage these parts.
•
Do not let the control panel get wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When clean-
ing the control panel, leave the door of the microwave open to prevent the ap-
pliance being switched on by accident.
•
If steam collects inside or on the external areas, wipe it away with a soft cloth.
•
Steam may occur if the microwave is used with high humidity; this is normal.
•
The glass rotating plate must be removed occasionally for cleaning. Wash the
plate in warm water with a mild soap solution or in the dishwasher.
•
Then dry the rotary plate thoroughly with a soft cloth.
•
Simply wipe the floor of the microwave with a mild cleaning solution.
•
Wash the grill rack where required in warm water with a mild soap solution. Al-
low stubborn dirt to soak for a few minutes.
•
Lingering odours in the microwave can be removed by placing a glass of water
with the juice and rind of a lemon into a deep container that is suitable for mi-
crowave use and heating for 5 minutes. Wipe out thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth.
•
If you have to replace the light in the microwave, please contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop or Medion Service.
