Cleaning and maintenance
Before
cleaning,
always
disconnect the applliance and
allow it oven to cool down.
When using
spray
cleaning products, be
careful not to spread them on the heating
elements or on the thermostat sensor.
Never use harsh
abrasives
, steel wool or
cleaners with
bleach
, as they could
damage the enamel and the oven door
glass.
The Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned
whilst the oven is still warm. It is advisable
to wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked
in warm soapy water after each use.
However, from time to time, it will be
necessary to do a more complete cleaning,
using a proper oven cleaner.
In case of particularly tough stains, you can
use stainless steel cleaning products or
some warm vinegar.
If cooking fruits,
some over-heated
natual acids can squeeze and settle
on the oven enamel, causing stains
quite difficult to remove. This could
affect the enamel brightness, but it
will have no consequence on the oven
performances.
To avoid these stains to be burnt out
during the next cooking, carefully
clean the oven cavity after all fruits
cookings.
Stainless steel and aluminium models
:
we recommend to clean the outer surface
of the oven door with a wet sponge, and then
carefully wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Do not
use any abrasive cleaning product, such as
steel wool or acids, as they could damage
the stainless steel surface. Follow the same
procedure for the control panel.
The Oven Door
Before cleaning the oven door, we
recommend you to remove it from the
oven.
Proceed as follows:
a)
open the oven door completely;
b)
find the hinges linking the door to the
oven (see fig.);
c)
unlock and turn the small levers located
on the two hinges (see fig.);
d)
handle the door by its left- and right-hand
sides, then slowly turn it towards the oven
until it is half-closed;
e)
gently pull the oven door off its site (see
fig.);
f)
place it on a steady plan.
Clean the oven door glass with warm water
and a softh cloth only.
Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the
oven door, following the procedure in reverse.
