What should I do if…
If the appliance does not work properly, this
does not always mean that it is defective. Try
to deal with the problem yourself first. Phone
the service department if the advice given
below does not help.
■ Is the plug in the socket?
■ Is the door closed properly?
■ Is the fuse in the meter cupboard
defective?
■ Have the power level and cooking time
been set properly?
■ Is there anything in the microwave oven
that should not be there?
■ Have you used the correct utensils?
■ Are the ventilation openings blocked?
■ Is the food sufficiently defrosted?
■ Did you turn or stir the food during
cooking?

Cleaning
■ 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 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 catch and the door seal
regularly for damage.
■ Do not use the combi-microwave oven if
the door or door catch are damaged.
