The Inside of the Oven

In order to ensure the continued aesthetic attractiveness of your oven in the long term, you should clean the inside of it regularly, preferably every time you use it; this way you will avoid the generation of smoke and unpleasant odours in subsequent uses.

a.Ovens with “Slide” enamel:

Our new “Slide” enamel ensures minimal adherence of any food to the internal surfaces of the oven, so this enamel is easy to clean. Clean the inside of the oven while it is still warm using hot water with a little soap or a solution of water and vinegar; after cleaning, dry the inner walls thoroughly with a soft cloth.

For in-depth cleaning or if the dirt is particularly difficult to remove, we recommend the use of specialised oven-cleaners, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Only ever use specialised oven-cleaners on a cold oven.

b.Ovens with self-cleaning panels:

In ovens with self-cleaning panels the rear plate and the side panels are coated with a self-cleaning enamel that eliminates fat and grease while the oven is operating. These side panels are reversible, which doubles the lifetime of their catalytic coating.

Sometimes, the largest splashes do not disappear until the oven has been turned on and off several times. When the self-cleaning elements of your oven no longer clean themselves well enough, it will be necessary to regenerate them. To do so, please follow the steps outlined below:

1.Remove the accessories and containers from the inside of the oven.

2.Thoroughly clean the oven surfaces that are not self-cleaning.

3.Place the function selector to position .

4.Adjust the oven temperature to 5000F.

5.We recommend you leave the oven operating for between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the degree of dirt and grime on the self-cleaning parts.

6.Clean off any remnants of salt from the self-cleaning elements using a slightly damp sponge (water only).

The self-cleaning elements of the oven will be completely functional again.
