How to Keep Your Oven in Shape

Before cleaning your oven disconnect it from the power supply.

To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:

•Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.

•the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abra- sive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains are difficult to remove, use special products available on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry.

•the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive de- tergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly tough to remove, use a special product for oven clean- ing, following the instructions provided on the packet.

•if you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.

•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 and avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recom- mend you avoid using the oven until it has been re- paired.

•never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the consequent accumulation of heat could compromise the cooking and even damage the enamel.

•clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
