10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• The microwave should be cleaned
regularly, as its surface can be damaged
and this will shorten the lifetime of the
appliance, as well as being dangerous.
• Always unplug the microwave oven
before cleaning it.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the inside
and outside of the oven, and the frame
and the inside of the door. The frame
and the inside of the door must always
be kept clean.
• Do not allow any water to enter the
ventilation grilles.
• Do not use abrasive products, alcohol
or solvents, as these could damage the
appliance.
• Never wet the control panel. Clean it
with a slightly damp cloth.
• Wash the turntable and the rotating
ring with warm soapy water or in the
dishwasher.
• If the oven is very dirty and causes
smells, boil a cup of water containing
lemon juice for 5 minutes. Wash the
walls of the oven with this water and dry
with a soft cloth.
11. INFORMATION FOR THE
CORRECT DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL
AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES
At the end of its working
life, the product must not be
disposed of as urban waste.
It must be taken to a special
local authority differentiated
waste collection centre or to
a dealer providing this service. Disposing
of a household appliance separately avoids
possible negative consequences for the
environment and health deriving from
inappropriate disposal and enables the
constituent materials to be recovered to
obtain significant savings in energy and
resources.
To remind you that you must collaborate
with a selective collection scheme, the
symbol shown appears on the product
warning you not to dispose of it in
traditional refuse containers.
For further information, contact your local
authority or the shop where you bought the
product.
