!The accessories can be washed like averyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).
!Switch off the electricity supply and allow to cool before cleaning the cooker.
!Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills soon after they occur to prevent them from becoming burnt on. Never use biological washing powder, caustic cleaners, harsh abrasives, scouring pads, steam cleaners, aerosol cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.
!Before moving your cooker ensure that it is cool and note that it is heavy so you may require assistance. The cooker is fitted with rear wheels and will slide in and out of position easily.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved as follows:
Open the grill/oven door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding contact with any grill or oven furniture and then lift and slide at the same time. When repositioning the cooker, ensure that it is level. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.
Cleaning The Cooktop
"Always wipe spills up when they occur. Do not leave spills to dry onto the surface of the hob.
"It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
"NOTE: Do not put hot components in cold water. The sudden temperature shock could cause the component to crack.
"Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as stain removers,
Burners
"Wait for the cooktop to cool completely. Remove the burner cap and check the gas outlet holes for blockages. Clean with a soft bristle brush and
warm soapy water.
" The removable parts of the burners should be AUS washed frequently with warm water and soap and
any
" Dry the burner parts thoroughly before replacing.
Ignitors
"The terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices and flame failure probes should be cleaned frequently,
'HEAT CLEAN' LINERS
The oven linings are coated with a special enamel which has a continuous cleaning action. The higher the oven temperature the more effective the action. In most cases this cleaning operation will proceed during normal cooking.
However, if high temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary to run the oven empty at maximum setting for one hour. If desired, they can be wiped over with a soapy cloth followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
Inspect The Oven Seals
"Check the door seals around the oven door regularly.
"If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest Ariston Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not used until worn seals have been replaced.
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE PLATE
After cooking, leave the griddle plate on the hob and allow to cool before cleaning. It can then be taken to the sink and washed using warm soapy water, gently wipe the cooking surface with a dishcloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials.
