11.3 Cleaning the ovens (without self-cleaning liners)

To keep the ovens in good condition, they must be cleaned regularly, after allowing them to cool down. Remove all removable parts.

In the main oven, remove the side runners by unscrewing the ring-nut "A" and extract them from the guide "B". (Fig. 1)

In the auxiliary oven, remove the side runners by lifting them at the front and extracting them from the hole at the back. (Fig. 2)

•Clean the oven shelves and side runners with hot water and non- abrasive detergents, rinse and dry.

•Clean the inside walls of the oven with a soft cloth dipped in an ammonium solution, rinse and dry. If stains or drippings remain, place a damp cloth soaked in ammonium on the bottom of the oven, close the door and after a few hours wash the oven with hot water and liquid detergent, rinse and dry.
