CHAPTER 5 - CARE AND CLEANING
5.1 - CLEANING
Always switch off at the power socket, disconnect the plug and wait for the
appliance to cool down, before any cleaning and maintenance is carried out.
The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special non-stick finish to which
splashes and food particles do not stick, making cleaning particularly simple.
Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) clean and free from grease and splash-
es of fat.
Do not use abrasive detergents, wire sponges and sharp metal tools when cleaning
the external surface of the oven. Also be careful to ensure that water or liquid deter-
gent does not penetrate the air and steam vent grilles on the top of the appliance.
It is also advisable not to use alcohol, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based deter-
gents to clean the internal and external surfaces of the door.
Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly, so that dirt
and food residues do not become trapped between the door and the front panel of
the oven.
It is necessary to remove the turntable (H) and its corresponding support (I) periodi-
cally in order to clean them; the bottom of the oven should also be cleaned.
Wash the turntable and its support in soapy water using mild soap. They can also
be washed in a dishwasher.
Do not immerse the turntable in cold water after prolonged heating; the sudden
change in temperature would cause it to crack.
To make the cleaning of the inside of the oven easier, the upper heating element can
be lowered by turning the ceramic hook.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, reposition and refasten the electrical element. The oven
must not be used with the element in the lowered positioned.
The turntable motor is sealed. When cleaning the bottom, you should nevertheless
take care to avoid water penetrating under the turntable spindle (D) or leaking from
the holes in the bottom of the oven (see figure).
How to clean the pasta cooker accessory.
The container, cover and mixer can be washed in a dishwasher.
You are recommended to remove the central shaft from the container.
The central shaft is fixed in the container. However, it can be removed for cleaning
by rotating it until the tongues match the relative holes and pressing lightly
downwards.
Make sure the hatch in the cover is always clean and free to rotate/open. The water
drain holes should also be kept clean.
Make sure the accessories are completely dry before repeating the cooking cycle.
