Cleaning and maintenance
Never clean the appliance with a pressurised hot
steam cleaner!
Before cleaning switch the oven off and let it cool
down completely.
Front side of the casing
For cleaning of front part of the oven use the usual
cleaning agents and follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never use any aggressive cleaning agents or dish
cleaning accessories which may cause scratches.
Stainless steel front
(certain models only)
Clean the surface with mild detergent (soap) and a
soft sponge which will not scratch. Never use
aggressive cleaners or solvents, or else you may
damage the surface.
Enamel coated and plastic surfaces
(certain models only)
Clean the knobs and handles with a soft cloth and
liquid cleaners, intended for use on smooth
enamel surfaces.
Aluminium coated surfaces
Aluminium coated surfaces of the appliance (front)
should be cleaned with liquid non-abrasive agents
and a soft sponge. You may also use cleansing
agents intended for such surfaces, and follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION:
Such surfaces must never come in
contact with oven cleaning sprays, because they
visibly and permanently damage aluminium
surfaces.
Oven
The oven may be cleaned by conventional
methods (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 ¼ litre of water into the baking pan
and insert it into the bottom grid guide. After thirty
minutes the food residues on the enamel coating
will be softened, and can be easily wiped off with a
moist cloth.
Otherwise respect the following cleaning tips:
•
Cool the oven completely before cleaning.
•
The oven and accessories must be cleaned after
each use, or else stains may get burnt on.
•
The interior glass should only be cleaned with a
non-abrasive oven cleaner.
•
The seal surrounding the interior oven glass
should be free from any cleaner.
•
Baking trays should NOT be placed in the
dishwasher. Wash in warm soapy water.
•
Oven walls, sprayed with oil from roasting, are
best cleaned with warm water and a mild
detergent when the oven is still tepid.
•
A 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, zinc-coated surfaces or
aluminium parts must not come into contact with
oven sprays, as they may cause damage or
discolouration. The same goes for the
thermostat probe (if the oven is equipped with
one) and exposed elements 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.
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 temperatures above 220ºC, while at
lower temperatures their disappearance is only
partial.
•
The self-cleaning power of catalytic liners
gradually deteriorates. We suggest replacement
of liners after a couple of years of regular use.
Some useful hints
•
When roasting a large portion of fatty meat we
recommend that you wrap it in aluminium foil or
put it 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.
