Cleaning and maintenance
Before any cleaning switch the
oven off and let it cool down.
The appliance must not be
cleaned with a steam cleaner or
a steam jet cleaner.
Important: Before carrying out any
cleaning operation, the appliance must be
disconnected from the power supply.
For a longer appliance life it is necessary
to carry out the following cleaning
operations regularly:
-
Only perform when the oven has cooled
down.
-
Clean the enamelled parts with soapy
water.
-
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
-
Dry the stainless steel parts and glass
with a soft cloth.
-
If there are stubborn stains, use
commercially available for stainless
steel or warm vinegar.
The oven's enamel is extremely durable
and highly impermeable. The effect of hot
fruit acids (lemon, plum or similar) can
however leave behind permanent, matte and
rough stains on the enamel surfaces.
However, such marks in the brightly polished
surface of the enamel do not affect the
operation of the oven. Clean the oven
thoroughly after every use. This is the easiest
way to clean dirt off. It prevents dirt being
burnt on.
Cleaning materials
Before using cleaning materials, always
check that these are suitable for your oven
and recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should
NEVER be used as they may dull the surface
finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be
avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel,
oven door and door seal using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a
little liquid detergent has been added.
To avoid damage to the oven's glass
door do not use the following under any
circumstances:
•
Household cleaners and bleaching solu-
tion
•
Coated cleaning sponges which are
unsuitable for saucepans with non-stick
coating
•
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
•
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
•
Rust removers
•
Stain removers for sinks/washing up
Clean the outer and inner door glass
using warm soapy water. Should the inside
of the glass door be heavily soiled, use
cleaning products such as "Hob Brite". Do
not use paint scrapers to remove dirt.
Oven cavity
The enamelled oven floor is best cleaned
whilst the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven with a soft cloth which is
washed out in warm soapy water after
every use. From time to time a more
thorough cleaning is required. Use a
commercially available oven cleaner for this.
