Care and Cleaning

Befor carrying out any cleaning and maintenance to your appliance you must disconnect it from the power supply.

Inside the oven

We recommend you clean your oven each time you use it, especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable to prevent food residue from building up during cooking: the residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is used and would char and release smoke and unpleasant odours.

Oven exterior

Clean the enamelled or stainless steel exterior surfaces of your oven using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making sure you rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using abra- sive or corrosive products which could damage them.

Stainless steel

Rinse stainless steel parts and dry them thoroughly using a soft cloth. Use a specific non-abrasive product to remove tougher stains,

DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven.

To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you may be tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We strongly advise against this. The aluminium foil sheet in direct contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibly.

Cleaning the rotisserie and other accessories

The rotisserie can be removed completely thanks to the 2 wing nuts.The elements comprising the rotisserie assembly should be cleaned together with the other accessories (dripping pan, grid) in the sink using a damp sponge and ordinary detergent or even in your dishwasher.

Rubber Seal

There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it using warm water and dry thoroughly.

DO NOT use abrasive products or objects to do so. Should the seal become damaged, please contact Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page). We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.

Disassembling the oven door

The oven door can easily be removed to clean the space between the bottom of the door and the front of the oven.To disassemble the door, proceed as follows:

-open the oven door fully,

-lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges,

-shut the door, but not completely,

-grip the door on the two external sides and pull it towards you, pulling it out of its seat.

Reassemble the door by following the above procedures in reverse order.
