CARE AND CLEANING
Always switch off at the power socket, disconnect the plug and wait for
the appliance to cool down, before any cleaning and maintenance is car-
ried out.
The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special non-stick finish to
which splashes and food particles do not stick, making cleaning particularly sim-
ple. Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) clean and free from grease and
splashes of fat.
Do not use abrasive detergents, wire sponges and sharp metal tools when
cleaning the external surface of the oven. Also be careful to ensure that water
or liquid detergent does not penetrate the air and steam vent grilles on the top
of the appliance.
It is also advisable not to use alcohol, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based
detergents to clean the internal and external surfaces of the door.
Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly, so that
dirt and food residues do not become trapped between the door and the front
panel of the oven.
Check from time to time that the ventilation openings located on the back and
underneath the cabinet which houses the appliance are free from any obstruc-
tions or dust.
It is necessary to remove the turntable (H) and its corresponding support (I) peri-
odically in order to clean them; the bottom of the oven should also be cleaned.
Wash the turntable and its support in soapy water using mild soap. They can
also be washed in a dishwasher.
Do not immerse the turntable in cold water after prolonged heating; the
sudden change in temperature would cause it to crack.
To make the cleaning of the inside of the oven easier, the upper heating element
can be lowered by turning the ceramic hook.
IMPORTANT:After cleaning, reposition and refasten the electrical element. The
oven must not be used with the element in the lowered positioned.
The turntable motor is sealed. When cleaning the bottom, you should
nevertheless take care to avoid water penetrating under the turntable
spindle (D) or leaking from the holes in the bottom of the oven (see figu-
re).
How to clean the pasta cooker accessory.
The container, cover and mixer can be washed in a dishwasher.
You are recommended to remove the central shaft from the container.
The central shaft is fixed in the container. However, it can be removed for clea-
ning by rotating it until the tongues match the relative holes and pressing lightly
downwards.
Make sure the hatch in the cover is always clean and free to rotate/open. The
water drain holes should also be kept clean.
Make sure the accessories are completely dry before repeating the cooking
cycle.
