MAINTENANCE / FAULTS
B 23
Keep your appliance looking good
Before starting to clean the microwave oven,
remove the plug from the socket or turn the
switch in the meter cupboard to zero.
Clean the inside immediately after use. Use a
damp cloth to remove any condensation,
liquid that has boiled over and food remains.
Crumbs and liquid that remain behind absorb
microwave energy and lengthen cooking
times.
Clean the inside and outside of the oven
regularly using soapy water and dry it
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Make sure that the microwave distributer
cover (inside the oven on the right) is clean. A
cover which is not clean may cause sparking.
Clean the accessories regularly; use soapy
water and a brush and dry the accessories
thoroughly with a dry cloth. The accessories
may also be washed in a dishwasher.
Odours will disappear if you put a glass of
vinegar or water - with lemon juice added - in
the oven space. Switch the microwave on for
two minutes on full power. Then wipe with a
damp cloth.
Check the door closure and the door seal
regularly for damage.
Do not use the oven if the door or the door
closure is damaged.

Faults
If the microwave oven does not cook as well
as it should do, if there is sparking inside it, or
if it does not start, etc., first try to find the
reason for the problem yourself before
phoning the service department.
You can do this by referring to the points
listed below.
– Is the plug in the socket?
– Is the door closed properly?
– Have the power level and the cooking time
been set properly?
– Are there any objects in the microwave
oven which shouldn't be there?
– Are you using the correct cooking utensils?
– Are both the roller stay and the turntable in
the microwave oven?
– Are the ventilation openings blocked?
– Has the food been defrosted sufficiently?
– Did you stir or turn the food during cooking?
– Is the childproof lock turned on?
