Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING

VERY IMPORTANT

Before any operation of maintenance disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains supply.

Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could infiltrate into the appliance making it dangerous.

GENERAL RECOMANDATION

✓Important: Before any operation of cleaning and maintenance disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply.

✓It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially for cleaning the enamelled parts.

✓Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the sur- faces.

✓Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.

The oven must always be cleaned after every use, using suitable products and keep- ing in mind that its operation for 30 minutes on the highest temperature eliminates most grime reducing it to ashes.

ENAMELLED PARTS

✓All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other non-abrasive products.

Dry preferably with a chamois leather.

STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS

✓Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth or with a chamois leather.

✓For difficult dirt, use a specific non-abrasive product available commercially or a little hot vinegar.

✓Note: regular use could cause discolouring around the burners, because of the high flame temperature.

INSIDE OF OVEN

✓This must be cleaned regularly.

✓With the oven warm, wipe the inside walls with a cloth soaked in very hot soapy water or another suitable product.

BURNERS AND GRIDS

✓These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products.

✓After cleaning, the burners and their flame distributors must be well dried and cor- rectly replaced.

✓It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor and the cap has been correctly positioned - failure to do so can cause serious problems.

✓Check that the probe next to each burner is always clean to ensure correct opera- tion of the safety valves.

✓In appliances with electric ignition keep the electrode clean so that the sparks always strike.

✓Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the burners are not in place.
