CLEANING
Before cleaning your cooker, make sure that all the control knobs are set to “0” and your oven
is cool to the touch. Unplug the appliance.
Before you clean, check whether the cleaning equipment and detergents you use are
appropriate for the cooker, and what is recommended by the manufacturer. Use cream cleaners
or liquid cleaners which do not contain particles. Do not use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive
cleaning powders, rough wire wool or hard tools, as they may damage the cooker surfaces.
If you spill excess cleaning liquid on the cooker, wipe it up immediately as it may cause
damage to the enamel.
