Cleaning the Oven
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.
•Never use steam or steam machines to clean the appliance.
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 washing up liquid has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following:
•Household detergent and bleaches
•Impregnated pads unsuitable for
•Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
•Chemical oven pads or aerosols
•Rust removers
•Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Contact your local Service Centre who will be pleased to advise further.
Models in stainless steel or aluminium:
We recommend to clean the oven door using only a wet sponge and dry it up after cleaning with a soft cloth. Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products as they can damage the oven surface.
Clean the oven control panel following the same precautions.
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
Pyrolytic cleaning
The oven cavity is coated with a special enamel resistant to high temperatures.
During the pyrolytic cleaning process, the temperature inside the oven can reach about 500 °C thus burning food residuals.
For your security, during the pyrolityc cleaning process, the oven door automatically locks when the temperature inside the oven approaches about 300 °C.
The door remains locked during the cleaning operation until the end of the pyrolytic cleaning function.
After the oven cavity has cooled down, the door unlocks. The cooling fan operates during cooking until the oven has cooled down. After each cooking, it is advisable to remove all the food residuals with a wet sponge.
However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a more complete and thorough cleaning, using the pyrolytic cleaning function. You can select two different levels of pyrolytic cleaning depending on how dirty the oven is.
If the oven cavity is not very dirty, we recommend to select the pyrolytic 1 function (PYr I) on the programmer display.
It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft sponge soaked in warm water after each pyrolytic cleaning cycle is carried out.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, we advise you to select the pyrolytic 2 function (PYr 2) on the programmer display.
During the pyrolytic cleaning function, it is not possible to use the oven for 2 hours when selecting the PYr I function and up to 2 hours and a half when the PYr 2 function is active.
