Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
- Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids, or chlorides
- Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents on the front
- Abrasive cleaning agents
(e.g.,powder cleaners and cream
cleaners)
- Solvent-based cleaning agents
- Stainless-steel cleaners
- Dishwasher cleaning agents
- Oven cleaners
- Glass cleaners
- Cleaning agents for ceramic-glass
cooktops
- Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g.,pot scourers, brushes, or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents)
- Eraser sponges
- Sharp metal scrapers
- Steel wool
- Spot cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
- Stainless-steel spiral pads
If soiling is allowed to sit for any length
of time, it may become impossible to
remove. If the appliance is used
frequently without being cleaned, it
may become very difficult to clean.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Removing soiling
Moisture inside the microwave oven
can cause damage.
Do not use too much water on the
cloth or sponge and do not let water
or any other liquid find its way into
any internal oven openings.
 Remove soiling immediately with
warm water, liquid dish soap, and a
clean sponge or a clean, damp
microfiber cloth.
 Remove all cleaning agent residues
thoroughly with clean water.
 After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
- For heavier soiling, heat a glass of
water inside the oven compartment
for 2–3minutes until the water begins
to boil. The steam will collect on the
oven compartment walls and soften
the soiling. You will then be able to
remove the soiling (using a little dish
detergent if necessary).
- To neutralize odors in the oven
compartment, put a container of
water with some lemon juice inside
the microwave oven and heat for a
few minutes.
