Care and cleaning
If cleaned and properly cared for, your oven will keep its bright
appearance and operating performance for many years to
come. Advice on how to care for and clean your oven is
provided below.
Notes
■
Different colours may be seen in your front panel due to the
various materials used in its manufacture, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■
Dark patches in the door's glass panel may seem to be dirt
but they are in fact reflections from the oven light.
■
Enamel burns at very high temperatures. This may cause
slight discolouration. This is normal and does not affect the
oven's operation. The edges of thin baking trays may not be
completely enamelled. They may therefore feel slightly rough,
although their corrosive protection will be unaffected.
Cleaning products
Follow the indications provided in the table to avoid damaging
the various oven surfaces by using unsuitable cleaning
products. Do not use
■
abrasive or acidic cleaning products
■
strong products containing alcohol
■
scourers or hard sponges
■
high-pressure or steam cleaners.
Wash new dishcloths thoroughly before use.
Removing and refitting the wire shelves or left
and right hand side rails
The wire shelves or left and right hand side rails can be
removed for cleaning. The oven must be cold.
Release the guides or rails
1.
Lift the front of the guide or rail and release it (figure A).
2.
Then pull the guide or rail forwards completely and remove it
(figure B).
Clean the guides or rails with detergents and a sponge. The
use of a brush is recommended for stubborn stains.
Install the wire shelves or rails
1.
First insert the shelf or the rail in the rear groove by pushing it
back slightly (figure A)
2.
then insert it in the front groove (figure B).
Wire shelves or rails can be adjusted on the left and right hand
side. Their curvature should always be face down.
