Cleaning the cooker
PLEASE NOTE: The cooker must be allowed to cool down and be switched off at the mains
electricity supply before cleaning.
Clean the hob burners and the inside of the cooker after each spillage to remove cooking residues and dirt.
Hob burners and ignitors should always be kept clean and dry to ensure proper performance.
When cleaning the cooker, do not use harsh abrasives, caustic cleaners or sharp objects. Take particular
care when cleaning the knobs, control panel, and any stainless steel parts, using soft cleaners which do
not contain abrasives.
Cleaning the pan support
Remove the pan support from the hob after use. Put it in warm soapy
water for some time, then wash and dry it.
Cleaning the hob burners
Remove the caps and rings, putting them separately in warm soapy
water. After cleaning, check that the burner ports are clear (Figure 15).
The body near the injector should always be clean. Dirt accumulating
around the injector may clog it, as a result of which, the burner will not
light, or will light only with a small flame. To clean the injector use a
brush soaked in a suitable commercial solvent. (Figure 15).
Dry all the elements of the burner carefully as wet elements may not
light properly. Assemble clean and dry burners, carrying out the
disassembly steps in the reverse order.
Cleaning the oven and grill
The oven and grill compartments are coated with vitreous enamel.
To clean particularly difficult burnt spots, special oven cleaning agents may be used. However, as these
agents are caustic, be careful when using them, and follow the manufacturers guidelines.
Cleaning the glass doors
Clean the glass part of the doors with hot water and a soft cloth. Wipe the rubber seals with a soft cloth
taking care not to damage them.
