11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

11.1 Cleaning enamel

To keep enamel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after each use of the cooker, after allowing it to cool.

11.1.1 Routine daily cleaning

When cleaning and caring for enamelled surfaces always use only specific products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Instructions for use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe over the surface, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

11.1.2 Food stains or spills

Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers which will damage the surface.

Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

Do not allow spills of foods with high sugar content (e.g. jam) to dry inside the oven. If they dry for too long, they might damage the enamel coating of the inside of the oven.

11.2 Cleaning the hob components

11.2.1 The glass lid

The lid can be taken off its hinges for easier cleaning. 1- open the lid;

2- undo the screws on the back of the two hinges (indicated by the arrows here) and lift it off.

If liquids are spilt onto the closed lid, wipe them off carefully with a cloth before opening it.

To replace the lid, fit it into the guides and screw in the hinge fixing screws with the lid open.

Take care not to touch the glass of the lid with still-hot pots and pans. The strong heat might crack the glass
