Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning

Disconnect the oven from the source of electricity before performing any maintenance or cleaning. To ensure a long life for your oven, clean it frequently and carefully, keeping in mind that:

·Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.

·the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels should be washed with warm water without the addition of abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could damage the finish;

·stainless steel may become marked if it comes into contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended to dry any water drops;

·avoid dirt and grease accumulating on the control panel by cleaning it frequently. Use non-abrasive sponges or soft cloths to avoid scratching enamelled or shiny steel parts.

Cleaning the hob surface

Prior to cooking, the hob surface should always be cleaned using a damp cloth to remove any dust or stray food particles. The hob surface should be regularly cleaned with a lukewarm solution of water and a mild detergent. Periodically it may be necessary to use a proprietary ceramic hob cleaner. First remove all spilt food and fat with a window scrape, preferably the razor blade type (not supplied) or, failing that, the fixed blade razor edge type (see Fig. A). Then clean the hob while it is still warm to the touch with a suitable cleaner and paper towel.

Then rinse it and wipe it dry with a clean cloth .If aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt on the hob surface they should be immediately removed from the hot cooking area with a scraper. This will avoid any possible damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar or any food with a high sugar content.

Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers of any type. Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and stain removers should also not be used (see Fig. B).
