Maintenance and Cleaning
WARNING!
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the
power supply.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Do not line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the consequent accumulation of
heat could compromise the cooking and even damage the enamel.
To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the unit, cord or plug
in water or other liquid or sprinkle water to clean the appliance!
Do not clean the appliance when it is still hot! The inside and external surface of
the oven should preferably be cleaned with a damp cloth when it has cooled down.
Wash all accessories in hot sudsy water or in a dishwasher, wipe dry with a paper
or cloth towel.
If you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Dry it
using a soft cloth.
Stainless steel

following the procedures below, if you want your appliance to look its best, perform well and have a long life.
Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel edges, they can be sharp!
The front frame around the oven can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaners if it becomes soiled or
discoloured.
The stainless steel should only be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents.
NOTE: Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the stainless steel
Glass
Glass surfaces on doors and control panels are best cleaned immediately after soiling.
A damp cloth may help remove baked on food deposits.
Oven cleaners can be used to remove stubborn marks and stains.
The glass door on this appliance is made from a tough, durable material that withstands heating and cooling
without breaking.
However, it must be remembered that it is GLASS, it may break. Treat it accordingly!
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door since they can scratch
the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Oven
Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure fats and oils do not accumulate around elements, burners or fans.
Always keep the oven dish, baking trays and grill dish inserts clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.
Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting bag to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats can
leave a varnish-like residue which is very difficult to remove.
