CLEANING and MAINTENANCE

GENERAL ADVICE

■Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched off.

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

■Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.

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

■Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus make it unsafe.

■Stainless steel surfaces: clean with a suitable product. Always dry thoroughly.

INSIDE OF OVEN

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

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES (DMFPSII model)

CAUTION:

The stainless steel surfaces used in this oven are protected with a Special Lacquer to reduce finger-print marks.

To avoid damaging this lacquer, do not clean the stainless steel with abrasive cleaners or abrasive cloths or scouring pads.

ONLY SOAP/WARM WATER MUST BE USED TO CLEAN THE STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES.

GRILL HEATING ELEMENT

■The heating element is self-cleaning and does not require maintenance. The grill is secured to the rear wall of the oven on a hinge system that allows it to be lowered to allow proper access when cleaning the oven ceiling (fig.

12-24).

GREASE FILTER

■ Clean the filter after any cooking! The grease filter can be removed for cleaning and should be washed regularly in hot soapy water (fig. 14-26).

32 ■ Always dry the filter properly before fitting it back into the oven.
