13.1 General Tips
The cooker should be kept clean. The following •
may not be used for cleaning: abrasive powder cle -
aners, metal scouring pads, aggressive chemical
agents or sharp objects.
Knobs, dials and the control panel should be cle
- •
aned with mild liquid detergents containing no
abrasive agents.
Elements made of stainless steel should be cle
- •
aned using suitable agents (stainless steel cle -
aner) (13.1.1).
For enamelled parts use a soft brush or sponge
•
moistened with warm water containing mild deter -
gents, avoiding excessive water. For heavily soiled
surfaces use kitchen-cleaning agents.
Do not clean glass surfaces using any abrasive
•
agents or metal items, as they may scratch the sur -
face and cause the glass to break.
The hob surface around burners should always be
•
clean as dirt deteriorates the combustion of gas.
When cleaning the hob do not allow water to get
beneath the hob.
Burners and igniters must be kept clean and dry to
•
ensure their trouble-free operation.
Take the dirty grids off the gas hob, soak them in
•
warm water with detergent and then wash and dry
them.
Immediately after use, trays and tins for baking and
•
roasting should be soaked in warm water with de -
tergent and then washed and wiped dry.
Oven door gasket should be kept clean. •
13.2 Cleaning the lid
The lid can be removed before cleaning the cooker.
Removing the lid:
open the lid completely, –
using both hands grasp the lid on the sides, lift –
it up and remove it (13.2.1).
Clean the lid with a soft cloth using a mild detergent,
rinse, wipe dry and put away.
13.3 Cleaning the burners
NOTE !
Clean the burners, sparkers each time they beco -
me spilled and also periodically remove blooms
or dirt.
Elements of the burners (fig. 13.3.1)
1 – lid 4 – nozzle
2 – ring 5 – sparker
3 – body 6 – thermocouple
To clean the burners remove the lid and the ring •
of the burners, put them in warm soapy water for
some time and then wash each part of the burner
separately.
Clean the burner elements using a sponge or a soft •
brush and remove dirt from burner ports with a ste -
el wire. After cleaning check if the burner ports are
clear.
To avoid permanent stains, rings should be washed •
each time after they become soiled.
The hob surface around the burner should be kept
•
clean at all times. Dirt may clog the nozzle, which
results in reduced gas flow or stoppage.
The nozzle should be cleaned with a small paint
- •
brush dipped in a solvent.
Dry all the elements of the burners carefully as wet
•
elements may not light or cause the gas to com -
bust improperly. Assemble clean and dry burners
carrying out the disassembling steps in the reverse
order, taking care not to damage the sparkers.
13.4 Cleaning the oven
Before cleaning the oven, ensure it is completely •
cool. Hot heaters may cause burns.
Preferably clean the bottom of the oven after each
•
use to avoid re-heating of food and fat remnants.
When cleaning the bottom of the oven do not pour
•
water on it. Take care not to flood the oven burner.
During cleaning the upper wall of the oven pay at
- •
tention to electric heaters, temperature sensor and
the oven lamp; do not change position of sensor
setting.
