• Do not use the open door as a stool to reach above cabinets.
• Pre-heat the oven until it reaches the temperature before placing
the food in the oven.
• Never use low-edged containers or trays such as
baking pans for roasts, in order to avoid soiling
the oven walls, thus preventing fat splashes,
sauce burning and smoke production.
• If the grease falls down into the oven burner it
could inflame.
• When the food is placed directly on the grate, you
must place the collection basin.
• Never use the oven without the rubber seal.
• During the functioning of the oven, the oven door
must be completely closed.
• It is advisable to place the cooking tray on the
middle section of the oven.
• Avoid opening the door during cooking, since the temperature
changes will affect your cooking and increase energy consumption.
• The oven can be turned off a few minutes before the food is
completely roasted; the residual temperature will be enough for
completing the roasting.
• Before maintaining or cleaning the cooker, switch off the circuit
breaker, turn off the isolating gas valve or the gas mains and allow
the cooker to cool down.
• Adequate maintenance and cleaning will prolong the life of the
appliance, as well as ensure trouble-free service.
• Cleaning and maintenance procedures should be performed when
the appliance is cold.
• Never use scouring powder, steel wool or acids to clean the cooker.
• The stainless steel parts should be washed with water after use,
and dried with a soft cloth. If the spots still persist, it is necessary to
use a non-abrasive detergent or warm vinegar.
• Avoid scrubbing the front panel as this will erase the designs
stencilled over each knob.
• The enamelled grids of the knob can be washed in the dishwasher.
• The cooker must not be cleaned with steam cleaning equipment.
