CLEANING

WARNING	-	Never use steam cleaning equipment.
	-	Only clean the oven when it is cool to the touch.

-Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Oven exterior

IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products accidentally comes into contact with the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.

•Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up detergent to the water. Finish off with a dry cloth.

Oven interior

IMPORTANT: do not use abrasive sponges or metallic scrapers or scourers. Over time, these can ruin enamelled surfaces and the oven door glass.

•After every use, allow the oven to cool then clean it preferably while it is still warm in order to remove built-up dirt and stains caused by food residues (e.g. food with a high sugar content).

•Use proprietary oven detergents and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter.

•Clean the door glass with a suitable liquid detergent. The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning (see

MAINTENANCE).

•The top heating element of the grill (see MAINTENANCE) can be lowered (some models only) to clean the roof of the oven.

N.B.: during prolonged cooking of foods with a high water content (e.g. pizza, vegetables, etc.) condensation may form on the inside of the door and around the seal. When the oven is cold, dry the inside of the door with a cloth or sponge.

Accessories:

•Soak the accessories in water with washing up detergent immediately after use, handling them with oven gloves if still hot.

•Food residues can be easily removed using a brush or sponge.

Cleaning the rear wall and catalytic side panels of the oven (if present):

IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, coarse brushes, pot scourers or oven sprays which could damage the catalytic surface and ruin its self-cleaning properties.

•Operate the oven empty with the fan-assisted function at 200°C for about one hour

•Next, leave the appliance to cool down before removing any food residue with a sponge.

Cleaning cycle of ovens with pyrolysis function:

WARNING	-	Do not touch the oven during the pyrolysis cycle.
WARNING	-	Keep children away from the oven during the pyrolysis cycle.
	-

This function burns off spatters produced inside the oven during cooking at a temperature of approx. 500°C. At this high temperature, the deposits turn into a light ash which can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth, when the oven is cool. Do not select the pyrolysis function after every use, only when the oven is very dirty or produces smoke or fumes while preheating or cooking.

•If the oven is installed below a hob, make sure that all burners or electric hotplates are switched off during the self- cleaning (pyrolysis) function.

•Remove all accessories before running the pyrolysis function (also the lateral grids).

•For optimum cleaning of the oven door, remove the worst soiling with a damp sponge before using the pyrolytic function.

The appliance is equipped with 2 pyrolysis functions:

1.Energy-saving cycle (PYRO EXPRESS/ECO): which consumes approximately 25% less energy than the standard cycle. Select it at regular intervals (after cooking meat on 2 or 3 consecutive occasions).

2.Standard cycle (PYRO): which is suitable for cleaning a very dirty oven.

•In any case, after a certain number of uses and depending on how dirty the oven is, a message on the oven display advises you to run a self-cleaning cycle.

N.B.: during the pyrolysis function, the oven door will not open; it will remain locked until the temperature inside the oven has returned to an acceptably safe level.
