• Clean the door frame, seal and neighbouring parts carefully with a damp cloth when dirty.

Cleaning the door and oven front face

• For best performance and to maintain the high degree of safety, the inner door panel and oven front face should be free of food or grease build-up.
• Wipe these parts with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.

Cleaning the control panel and plastic parts

• Do not apply a detergent or an alkaline liquid spray to the control panel and plastic parts, as this may cause damage to these parts.
• Use a dry cloth (not a soaked cloth) to clean these parts.
• Do not allow the control panel to become wet.

Cleaning the oven interior

• After use be sure to remove spilled liquids, spattered oil and food debris as quickly as possible.
• If the oven is used when dirty, efficiency will drop and the dirt will get stuck on the oven surface.
  This may cause bad odours. Clean the interior with a cloth soaked in luke-warm water with a mild detergent dissolved in it, then rinse the soap off with a damp cloth.

Remove any odours in the oven interior by microwaving a cup of water with the juice of 1 lemon for 5 minutes. Wipe the oven clean with a soft dry cloth.
