Oven cleaning and maintenance
Important
Before servicing the oven, always unplug it or disconnect the power at the main electrical system switch.
– The stainless steel and enamelled parts of the oven will stay as good as new if regularly cleaned with water or special
detergents. Take care to dry them thoroughly after cleaning.
– Never use scouring pads, steel wool, muriatic acid or other products which could scratch or mark the surface.
Do not use steam cleaners or direct jets of water.
– Stains on the base of the oven, due to various cooking products (sauces, sugar, egg white and fat) are always produced
by spills and splashes. Splashes occur during cooking and are the result of cooking at too high a temperature, while
spills are due to the use of cooking dishes which are too small, or an incorrect estimate of increases in volume during
cooking. These two problems can be solved by using cooking pots with high rims or using the drip-tray supplied
with the oven. To clean the lower part of the oven, it is advisable to remove any stains while the oven is still warm;
stains are easy to deal with when fresh.
Cleaning the oven door
– The oven door must be cleaned (internally and externally) when the oven is completely cold,
using hot water. Do not use abrasive cloths. Clean the glass using special detergents.
– Clean the enamelled surfaces with hot water and non-abrasive detergent, just as for the
oven interior itself.
(Models CR 66 and CS 66 only)
– The oven door decorative plastic panel can be removed for more thorough cleaning. With
the door open, press at the sides and remove the panel, as shown in the figure. To refit the
panel in the oven door, just slide it in place and press lightly to engage the side fastenings.
Removing the oven door internal glass
(models CR, CS and SM only) (Fig. 2)
The oven door can be removed to enable thorough cleaning of the internal glass, by proceeding as follows:
• with the door completely open, turn the two black blocks (with the word "CLEAN") at the bottom of the door 180°
so that they fit into the seats in the oven structure.
N.B.: Make sure you turn them fully (the blocks will click into this position).
• Carefully lift the internal glass: the two blocks will prevent the door from closing (if the blocks are not turned fully,
removing the glass will cause immediate closing of the door).
After carrying out the cleaning operations, refit the internal glass (the correct position is indicated by the wording
"TEMPERED GLASS", which must be perfectly legible) and turn the two glass retaining blocks back to their original
position.
CAUTION: Never try closing the door when only one or both blocks have partially or completely freed the
internal glass. After cleaning, always remember to turn both blocks before closing the door.
Removing the oven door internal glass (models TL and CM only) (Fig. 3)
The oven door can be removed to enable thorough cleaning of the internal glass, by proceeding as follows:
• with the door completely open, turn the two black blocks at the bottom of the door 180° (fig. 3a and 3b).
N.B.: Make sure you turn them fully (the blocks will click into this position);
• carefully lift the internal glass (fig. 3c): the two blocks will prevent the door from closing (if the blocks are not turned
fully, removing the glass will cause immediate closing of the door);
• to remove the glass in between, slide out the two side gaskets (fig. 3d) and then lift out the glass (fig. 3e);
• after carrying out the cleaning operations, refit the intermediate glass (fig. 3f) (the correct position is indicated by the
wording "TEMPERED GLASS", which must be perfectly legible) by inserting it carefully into the relevant grooves
located at the top of the door and pushing it all the way to the end of the groove;
• then replace both gaskets (fig. 3g), taking extra care to ensure they are inserted as far as possible, until they come
into contact with the upper edge of the door;
• finally, refit the internal glass (fig. 3h) and turn the two glass retaining blocks back to their original locking position.
CAUTION: Never try closing the door when only one or both blocks have partially or completely freed the
internal glass. After cleaning, always remember to turn both blocks before closing the door.
Removing the oven door (Fig. 4)
To facilitate oven cleaning, the oven door can be removed by operating on the hinges as follows:
– The hinges (A) are equipped with two moveable locks (B). Lift the lock (B) to release the hinge.
– Then lift the door up and pull it outwards; to do this, hold the door at the sides near the hinges.
– To refit the door, first slide the hinges into their grooves.
– Before closing the door, remember to turn the two locks (B) used as hinge attachments.
