Cleaning and Maintenance
General Cleaning
Before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work, always disconnect the
appliance from the electrical supply, and
allow it to cool down.
• When using
spray
cleaning products, be careful not
to spread them on the heating elements or on the
thermostat sensor.
• Never use harsh
abrasives
, steel wool or cleaners
with
bleach
, as they could damage the enamel and
the oven door glass.
The Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven
is still warm. It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft
cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use.
However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a
more complete cleaning, using a proper oven cleaner.
In case of particularly tough stains, you can use stainless
steel cleaning products or some warm vinegar.
If cooking fruits,
some over-heated natual acids
can squeeze and settle on the oven enamel,
causing stains quite difficult to remove. This could
affect the enamel brightness, but it will have no
consequence on the oven performances. To avoid
these stains to be burnt out during the next
cooking, carefully clean the oven cavity after all
fruits cookings.
The Oven Door and its gasket
Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to
remove it from the oven.
Proceed as follows:
1) open the oven door completely;
2) find the hinges linking the door to the oven (Fig. 10);
3) unlock and turn the small levers located on the two
hinges (Fig. 11);
4) handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides, then
slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half-closed
(Fig. 12);
5) gently pull the oven door off its site (Fig. 12);
6) place it on a steady plan.
Clean the oven door glass with warm water and a softh
cloth only.
Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door,
following the procedure in reverse.
The correct operation of the oven is ensured by a gasket
placed round the edge of the oven cavity.
• Periodically
check
the condition of this gasket. If
necessary, clean it without using abrasive cleaning
products.
• If the gasket shows to be
damaged
, call you local
Service Centre. Do not use the oven until it has been
repaired.
