Cleaning and maintenance
Never clean the appliance with pressurized hot steam cleaner!
Before cleaning switch the cooker off and let it cool down
completely.
Front side of the casing
For cleaning of frontal part of the cooker use the usual cleaning
agents and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Never use any aggressive cleaning agents or dish cleaning
accessories which might cause scratches.
Stainless steel front
(certain models only)
Clean the surface with mild detergent (soap) and soft sponge
which does not scratch. Never use aggressive cleaners or
solvents, otherwise you may damage the surface.
Enamel coated and plastic surfaces
(certain models only)
Clean the knobs and handles with soft cloth and liquid
cleaners, intended for use of smooth enamel surfaces.
Aluminum coated surfaces
Aluminum coated surfaces of the appliance (front) should be
cleaned with liquid non-abrasive agents and soft sponge. You
may also use cleansing agents intended for such surfaces, and
follow the manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION:
Such surfaces may never come in contact with
oven cleaning sprays, because they visibly and permanently
damage aluminum surfaces.
Oven
The oven may be cleaned in a traditional mode (using oven
cleaners and sprays).
The following procedure is recommended for regular cleaning
of the oven (after each use):
Turn the mode selection button to the position
. Set the
temperature control button of the cold oven to 50°C. Pour 0,4 l
of water into the baking pan and insert it into the bottom grid
lead. After thirty minutes the food residues upon the enamel
coating are softened, and may be easily wiped off with a moist
cloth.
Otherwise respect the following cleaning tips:
•
Cool the oven completely before cleaning.
•
The oven and the accessories must be cleaned after each
use, otherwise stains might get burned in.
•
Oven walls, sprayed with oil from roasting, is best cleaned
with warm water and detergent when the oven is still tepid.
•
Hard and heavily stained oven should be cleaned with
special oven cleaning agents. Rinse the cleaner thoroughly
and remove any detergent remaining before the next use.
•
Never use aggressive cleaners, like polishing agents, dish
cleaning accessories, corrosion inhibitors, or any other
devices that might cause scratches.
•
Coated, stainless steel or zinc-coated surfaces or aluminum
parts must not come into contact with oven sprays, since
they might cause damage or discoloration. The same goes
for thermostat probe (if the cooker is equipped with it) and
exposed heaters on the oven ceiling.
•
When purchasing cleaning agents remember the
environment, and strictly follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Catalytic coating of the oven
•
Catalytic enamel is soft and sensitive to rubbing and
therefore we warn against the use of abrasive cleaning
agents and sharp objects.
•
Rough catalytic enamel speeds up disintegration of grease
and other filth. Smaller stains that remain after cooking
usually disappear during the next use of the oven. As a rule,
the stains disappear at the temperatures above 220ºC, while
at lower temperatures their disappearance is only partial.
•
Self cleaning power of catalytic parts gradually faints. We
suggest replacement of old coatings after a couple of years
of regular use.
Some useful hints
•
When roasting large pieces of fatty meat we recommend
that you wrap them in aluminium foil or put them in a suitable
roasting bag to prevent the grease from splashing all over
the oven.
•
Place the drip pan underneath the grid when using the grill.
Removing wire and telescopic guide grids
Telescopic guide grids or wire guides may be removed to
facilitate the cleaning of the oven. Side grids are removed by
swinging the bottom side inwards and unhooking them from
their place. Clean the side grids and telescopic guides only
with conventional detergents. Telescopic guides may not be
washed in a dishwasher.
Note
! Never lubricate the telescopic
guides! To reinsert, repeat the procedure backwards: slide
them into the holes and swing downwards.
Oven ceiling
(differ according to different models)
To facilitate the cleaning of the ceiling some ovens are
equipped with the foldable infrared heater.
•
Before lowering the infrared heater disconnect the appliance
from the mains by unlocking the fuse or switching off the
main switch.
•
The heater must be cooled down, otherwise you might get
burned!
•
Never use the heater in the lowered position!
Before cleaning remove all pans, grids and guides, and using
suitable tools (knife or a screwdriver) loosen the cross bar from
its side supports (see fig.). Use your other hand to hold the
heater and fold it downwards. After cleaning simply push the
heater back and the cross bar will click into position.
Removing oven door
(differ according to different models)
Open the door to the horizontal position. Pull the bottom hinge
supports upwards to the vertical position and lock them to the
latch of upper hinge support. Close the door halfway (see fig.)
and pull it out. For reinserting the door repeat the procedure
backwards. Insert the door in half open position (at an angle of
60
°
) by pushing them all the way in during opening. Be sure
that the notches on bottom hinge carriers fit exactly the oven
floor. Now open the door completely, remove the hinge clamps
from the upper hinge latches and return them into the
horizontal position.
