5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before all cleaning and maintenance :
•Disconnect mains voltage.
•If the oven is hot, wait till it has cooled down.
•Never use a steam or high pressure spray to clean the appliance.
•Never use abrasive cleaners, wire wool or sharp objects to clean
the glass oven door.
•Clean enamelled surfaces with warm, soapy water or with suitable
brand products. On no account use abrasive powders that may
damage surfaces and ruin the appearance of the cooker.
It is very important to clean the oven each time it is used.
•Use detergents and abrasive metal pads for the stainless steel
grills.
•The glass surfaces such as the top, the oven door and the warming
compartment door must be cleaned when they are cold.
•Damage caused by failure to respect this rule is not covered by the
guarantee.
•Do not use abrasive products, metal cleaning pads, sharp objects,
rough cloths, or chemical products and detergents that can
permanently damage the catalytic lining.
•It is a good idea to use deep roasting trays for fatty foods such as
joints of meat etc. and to put a tray underneath the grill to catch
surplus fat.
•Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
•Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning operations
Cleaning of Oven Door
For thorough cleaning of the oven door, it is advisable to remove the
same, as shown in below.
Open the door completely, turn the two feet on the hinge arms 180º.
Close the door partly by a 30º. Remove the door by slightly lifting the
it at this position.
For replacing the door, follow the steps above in the reverse order.
Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it to
cool down.
Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces should be used. They are obtainable from
hardware stores.
Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface will
quickly burn and will make cleaning more difficult.
It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which are
liable to melt, such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based products.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which
may result in shattering of the glass.
MAINTENANCE
•Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the hob
surface.
•Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp
kitchen paper.
•Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.
If there are still some stubborn stains
•Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning fluid on the surface.
•Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of 30 to the hob, until
the stains disappear.
•Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.
•Repeat the operation if necessary.
A FEW HINTS
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to
prevent scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean
before using the hob again. To remove marks left by water, use a
few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice.
Then wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised
cleaning fluid.
The control knobs can be removed for a complete cleaning.
However, you must care not to let any liquid go into the open
zones, and then to push the knobs fully on fitting back.
The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from
flatbottomed cooking vessels, however, it is always better to lift
them when moving them from one zone to another
Do not use a sponge which is too wet.
Never use a knife or a screwdriver.
A scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface,
as long as it is kept at an angle of 30 .
Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of
children.
Never use abrasive products or scouring powders.
The metal surround
to safely clean the metal surround wash with soap and water, rinse,
then dry with a soft cloth.
To Replace the inside light
• Switch off the mains power supply and unscrew bulb.
Replace with an identical bulb that can withstand very high
temperatures.
• Never use steam or a vaporizer for cleaning.
•WARNING: Avoid possibility of electric shock - ensure the
appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp.
5.1. CATALYTIC SELF - CLEANING OVEN
•Special self-cleaning panels covered in a micro-porous coating
are available on some of our models. If they are fitted, the oven no
longer needs to be cleaned by hand.
•The lining must be porous for self-cleaning to be effective.
•Excessive splattering of fat may block the pores and therefore
hinder self-cleaning. This self-cleaning capacity may be restored
by switching on the empty oven to maximum for about 10-20
minutes.
•If the walls of the oven are so thickly coated in grease that the
catalytic lining is no longer effective, remove surplus grease with a
soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water. All catalytic linings
currently on the market have a working life about 300 hours. They
should therefore be replaced after about 300 hours.
