Routine Maintenance and Cleaning
Disconnect the oven from the source of electricity
before performing any maintenance or cleaning. To
ensure a long life for your oven, clean it frequently and
carefully, keeping in mind that:
· Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
·
the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels
should be washed with warm water without the addition
of abrasive powders or corrosive substances which
could damage the finish;
·
stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended to dry any water drops;
·
avoid dirt and grease accumulating on the control panel
by cleaning it frequently. Use non-abrasive sponges or
soft cloths to avoid scratching enamelled or shiny steel
parts.
Cleaning the hob surface
Prior to cooking, the hob surface should always be cleaned
using a damp cloth to remove any dust or stray food
particles. The hob surface should be regularly cleaned
with a lukewarm solution of water and a mild detergent.
Periodically it may be necessary to use a proprietary
ceramic hob cleaner. First remove all spilt food and fat
with a window scrape, preferably the razor blade type
(not supplied) or, failing that, the fixed blade
razor edge type (see Fig. A). Then clean the hob while it
is still warm to the touch with a suitable cleaner and paper
towel.
Then rinse it and wipe it dry with a clean cloth .If aluminium
foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt on the
hob surface they should be immediately removed from
the hot cooking area with a scraper. This will avoid any
possible damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar
or any food with a high sugar content.
Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers of any type.
Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and stain
removers should also not be used (see Fig. B).
