Care and cleaning
Important!
Always disconnect the cooker from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance. Before any cleaning or maintenance, make sure the part of the cooker you are about to handle or clean is a safe temperature to touch.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scourers, pads or steel wool to clean any part of the cooker. These will dull the appearance of enamel surfaces and scratch the glass. Some nylon scourers may also scratch. Check the label.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
Be sure that all the controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. Chemicals in such cleaners could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

GENERAL ADVICE
Cooktop and oven
Wipe out the oven and wipe down the cooktop after every use, especially if there has been a food spill. Regular cleaning will prevent stains from becoming stubborn and more difficult to remove later.
Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (such as lemon juice, vinegar or salty spills) on the enamel surfaces (oven cavity, radiant element bowls, radiant cooktop).
Do not use cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base, as these are corrosive.

o (OFF) and that the cloth is not too wet.
To prevent soiling from becoming ‘baked on’ and stubborn, we recommend removing any spills, food or grease stains from the enamelled surfaces after each use.
To make cleaning the oven ceiling easier, the grill element can be lowered. See illustrations and instructions after this cleaning chart.
If using ‘off the shelf’ oven cleaners, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
