CLEANING
NOTE: Cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out when the oven and
cooktop are cool.
The appliance should be isolated from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Before starting to clean your oven or cooktop, be sure that all control buttons are off and your
appliance is cooled off.
Do not use cleaning materials containing particles that might scratch the enamelled and painted parts
of your oven. Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners, which do not contain particles. As these cleaners
may damage the surfaces, do not use caustic creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough wire wool or
hard tools. Before using the cleaning materials check whether they are appropriate and recommended
for use by the manufacturer on your oven. In the event of any excess liquids spilling over your oven
surface during cleaning, clean up immediately so as to prevent possible damage to the enamel or metal
surface. Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the oven.
CLEANING THE OVEN
You will obtain best results if you clean the oven interior while the oven is slightly warm. Wipe the oven
with a soft cloth that had been dampened in soapy water after each use, then wipe it with a wet cloth
once more and then dry it. It may be required to use a liquid cleaning material from time to time and
completely clean the oven. Do not clean with dry and powder cleansers.
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
Any residues that are left on the cooktop surface from cleaning agents may damage it. You should
remove any residues with water and a little washing up.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the cooktop surface. The cooktop should be cleaned
using water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the cooktop surface is still warm, you should take
extra care not to burn yourself. It is recommended to only clean the cooktop when cold.
AFTER EACH USE
Wipe the appliance over with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
For non-stainless steel cooktop surfaces, a mild, non abrasive cream cleaner may only be used.
MAINTAINING THE SOLID PLATES
If something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it can be removed using a soft brush, plastic or nylon
scourers and warm water.
To keep the solid plates in good condition, you should put a little olive oil onto a kitchen towel and rub
it onto the surface of the plate. The next time the plate is used, it may produce a little smoke.
Alternatively you can use a hotplate cleaner; these products can normally be found at larger
supermarkets and hardware stores. The cleaning agent instructions should be followed when using
these products.
IMPORTANT: If the solid plates are not maintained regularly with olive oil or a hotplate cleaner, then
they may rust.
