MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The oven should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuffs could result in a fire.
Before cleaning, ensure all control
knobs are in the OFF position, and
the appliance has cooled completely.
Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that the
manufacturer recommends their use.
Cleaners that contain bleach should
NOT be used as they may dull the
surface finishes. A steam cleaner is not
to be used. Harsh abrasives should also
be avoided.
Ceramic glass
Important
: Cleaners must not come into contact
with the ceramic glass when hot! All cleaners
must be removed with plenty of clean water after
cleaning as they may have a caustic effect when
the rings are next heated!
Do not use any aggressive cleaners, such as
e.g. grill or oven sprays, coarse scouring
cleaners or pan cleaners that cause scratches.
Clean the ceramic glass surface after each
use when it is hand warm or cold. By this means
you will avoid soiling becoming burnt on.
Remove scale and water marks, fat spots and
metallic shimmering discoloration with a
commercially available ceramic glass or
stainless steel cleaner.
Light Soilage
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp
cloth and a little washing up liquid.
2. Then rub dry with a clean cloth. No residues
of cleaner must be left on the surface.
3. Once a week, thoroughly clean the entire
ceramic glass surface with a commercially
available ceramic glass cleaner such as
«Vitroclen».
4. Then wipe the ceramic glass surface with
plenty of clean water and rub dry with a
clean fluff-free cloth.
Stubborn Soilage
1. To remove food that has boiled over or burnt
on spots, use a glass scraper.
2. Place the glass scraper at an angle to the
glass ceramic surface.
3. Remove soiling by sliding the scraper.
You can obtain glass scrapers and ceramic
glass cleaners from your specialist retailers.
Burnt on Soilage
1. Remove burnt on sugar, melted plastic,
aluminium foil or other melted materials
immediately, while the hob is still hot, using
a glass scraper.
Important:
When using the glass scraper on the
hot cooking zone, there is a risk of burns!
2. Clean the cooking surface as normal once it
is cold.
If the cooking zone has cooled down already
prior to the soilage being removed, warm it up
again for cleaning. Scratches or dark marks on
the ceramic glass surface, which have been
caused by a pan base with sharp edges, cannot
be removed. However, they do not impair the
function of the cooking surface.
As soon as any crack in the ceramic
glass surface becomes visible, disconnect
the appliance immediately from the supply to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.
The Hob Frame
Important
! Do not put vinegar, lemons or scale
removers on the hob frame, otherwise mat spots
will appear.
1. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and a little
washing up liquid.
2. Soften dried dirt with a wet cloth. Then wipe
off and rub dry.
External cleaning
We recommend for cleaning cleaners that do
not scratch the surface; Avoid use of metall
objects, steel wool or nylon pads, abrasive or
caustic products, or diluents.
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned
whilst the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water after each use. From time to
time it will be necessary to do a more thorough
cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
Oven Shelves and shelf support
To clean the oven shelves, and shelf support
soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn
marks with a well-wetted soap impregnated pad.
Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
