Cleaning
WARNING!
Isolate the power supply to the appliance and make sure that the oven is cool.
Before cleaning your oven or performing maintenance, make sure that the cooking mode
selection knob and the cooking temperature selection knob are set to ‘OFF’. To extend the life
of your oven, it should be cleaned frequently.
The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm (but not
hot), with warm water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly.
Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers, acidic cleaners such as lime scale remover, etc, as these
could damage the enamel, and can result in the development of rust and corrosion. If stains are
particularly tough to remove, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean ovens and follow the
instructions provided with the cleaner.
Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning inside the oven.
Do not clean using caustic creams, abrasive cleaning powders, thick wire wool or hard tools.
Enamelled parts of the oven can be damaged if excess cleaning liquids are not immediately removed.
After cleaning the interior parts of the oven with a soapy cloth, rinse it and then dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth.
Clean the glass surfaces with special glass cleaning agents.
Never
use flammable agents like acid, thinner or petrol when cleaning your oven.
Do not
clean your oven with a steam cleaner.
Do not
wash any part of your oven in a dishwasher.
Enamelled Parts:
In order to keep enamelled parts as new, it is necessary to clean them frequently with mild warm soapy
water and then dry with a cloth. Do not wash them while hot and never use abrasive powders or
abrasive cleaning materials. Do not leave anything spilled onto enamelled parts for long periods of
time.
Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel parts must be cleaned frequently with mildly warm soapy water and a soft sponge and
then dried with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or abrasive cleaning materials. Do not leave
anything spilled onto stainless steel parts for long periods of time.
