Cleaning and care 11
Poor appliance hygiene can lead to damage to the surfaces, which in turn can
reduce the lifespan of the appliance and even result in dangerous situations.
Therefore clean the microwave regularly and remove all remaining food.
• Switch the microwave off and pull the plug from the socket before cleaning.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean. Wipe away splashes or spilled liquids
that attach to the walls with a damp cloth. A mild cleaning solution can be
used for serious dirt. Do not use sprays or other caustic detergents as these
could attack, scratch or dull the door surface.
• The external areas should be cleaned with a damp cloth. In order to prevent
damage to the microwave oven’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. Pay great attention to avoid damage to these parts.
• The operating field may not become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
When cleaning the operating field leave the door open to prevent the oven
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 rotating plate must be removed occasionally for cleaning. Wash the
plate in warm water with a mild soap solution or in the dishwasher.
• Dry the rotating plate thoroughly with a soft cloth after this. Pay attention
that the rotating plate is replaced correctly if you have removed it from the
drive hub to clean it.
• The star wheel and the floor of the microwave should be cleaned regularly
to avoid the devlopment of loud noises.
• Simply wipe the floor of the microwave with a mild cleaning substance. The
star wheel can be washed in mild soapy water or in the dishwasher.
• Odours remaining in the oven can be removed by placing a glass of water
with the juice and rind of a lemon on a deep container that is suitable for
microwave use and heating for 5 minutes. Wipe out thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth.
• If you have to replace the light in the oven, please contact a qualified
specialist workshop or Medion Service.
