Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning

Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:

•the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are washed with warm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;

•the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often while it is still warm using warm water and detergent, followed by careful rinsing and drying;

•the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still warm;

•Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into

contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended to dry any water drops;

N.B: avoid closing the cover while the electric plates are still warm. Remove any liquid from the lid before opening it.
