Oven
• The oven can be cleaned in conventional manner (with
detergents, oven spray), but only when there is vey dirty
and when the stains are particularly stubborn.
• For regular cleaning of your oven (after each use),
the following procedure is recommended: Pour 0.6
liter of water into a baking tray and insert it into the
lowermost guide. Press the (O) key, followed by the
start/stop key. After thirty minutes, the food residues
on the enamel will have softened, allowing you to
wipe them with a dap cloth.
When dealing with stubborn stains, please not the
following:
The oven should be cooled down before each cleaning
process.
• Clean the oven and accessories after each use to
prevent the dirt from being burnt onto the oven.
• The easiest way to remove grease is by using warm
soapsuds while the oven is still warm.
• In case of particularly stubborn dirt, use the conventional
oven cleaners. Then, rinse the oven thoroughly with
clean water to remove all residues of the cleaner.
• Never use aggressive cleaners such as steel wool,
abrasive dishwashing sponges, stain removers, etc.
• Lacquer
-
coated, stainless steel, and zinc
-
coated
surfaces, as well as aluminum parts, should never
come into contact with oven cleaning sprays, as
these may cause damage and discoloration. The
same applies for the thermostat sensor (if the cooker
features a timer with a probe) and the heaters
accessible at the upper part.
• When purchasing and dispensing detergents,
consider the environment and observe the
instructions provided by respective cleaning agent
manufacturers.
Catalytic layer (only with some models)
• Catalytic enamel is soft and sensitive to mechanical
stress; therefore, the use of abrasive cleaners and sharp
objects is not recommended.
• Coarse catalytic enamel speeds up the disintegration
of grease and other types of impurity. Minor stains that
remain after cooking normally disintegrate by the time the
oven is used for the next time. In general, the stains will
disappear at temperatures above 220°C, while with lower
temperatures they will disappear only in part.
• Self
-
cleaning power of the catalytic parts is weakened
in tome. We recommend replacing the layer after a few
years of regular use.
Practical tip
• When cooking larger fatty chunks of meat, we
recommend wrapping them in aluminum foil of a
suitable cooking bag, to prevent the grease from
being spattered on the oven interior walls.
• When grilling meat on the grid, place a drip tray
underneath.
Cleaning the oven interior ceiling (only with some
models)
• To facilitate cleaning of the oven interior upper wall,
some appliances feature a foldable upper infra heater.
• Before lowering the heater, the cooker must be
disconnected from the power mains by removing the fuse
or tripping the main switch.
• The heater should be cooled down; otherwise there is
a risk of burning!
• Do not use the heater when it is lowered!
Before cleaning the oven, remove the baking trays, the
grid, and the guides. Then, pull the horizontal heater
towards yourself. Pull the heater until the crossbar is
released from the supports on the left and right side of
the oven (see
fi
gure). After cleaning, replace the heater
following the same procedure; the crossbar must be
reinserted into the two support brackets.
Accessories
Wash the accessories (baking trays, grid, etc.) with hot
water and some conventional detergent.

fi
lter (only with some models)
