MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The oven should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuffs could result in a fire.
Before cleaning, ensure all control
knobs are in the OFF position, and the
appliance has cooled completely.
Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT
be used as they may dull the surface
finishes. A steam cleaner is not to be
used. Harsh abrasives should also be
avoided.
External cleaning
We recommend for cleaning cleaners type
AXION or CIF that do not scratch the surface;
after that rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid
use of metall objects, steel wool or nylon pads,
abrasive or caustic products, or diluents.
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst
the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water after each use. From time to
time it will be necessary to do a more thorough
cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
Oven Shelves and shelf support
To clean the oven shelves, and shelf support soak
in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks
with a well wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse
well and dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Oven door
For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it
is advisable to disassemble it in the following
way:
-
Open the door completely.
-
Turn the two locking parts on the hinge arms
to 170°;
-
Partially close the door, to a 30
o
angle;
-
Lift the door and pull out.
locking parts
Refit the door by reversing the operation
described above.
The Hob Top
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use
of the following:
•
household detergent and bleaches;
•
impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
•
steel wool pads;
•
bath/sink stain removers.
Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning.
Wash the burners caps and crowns using hot
soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste
cleaner. A well-moistened soap impregnated steel
wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks
are particularly difficult to remove
.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
