Cleaning and maintenance

General Cleaning

Before cleaning, always allow the oven to cool down.

When using spray cleaning products, be careful not to spread them on the heating elements or on the thermostat sensor.

Never use harsh abrasives, steel wool or cleaners with bleach, as they could damage the enamel and the oven door glass.

The Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a more complete cleaning, using a proper oven cleaner.

In case of particularly tough stains, you can use some warm vinegar.

•If cooking fruits, some over-heated natual acids can squeeze and settle on the oven enamel, causing stains quite difficult to remove. This could affect the enamel brightness, but it will have no consequence on the oven performances. To avoid these stains to be burnt out during the next cooking, carefully clean the oven cavity after all fruits cookings.

The Oven Door and its gasket

Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to remove it from the oven.

☞Proceed as follows:

a)open the oven door completely;

b)find the hinges linking the door to the oven (fig 6);

c)unlock and turn the small levers located on the two hinges (fig. 13);

d)handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides, then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half-closed;

e)gently pull the oven door off its site (fig. 14);

f)place it on a steady plan;

g)unscrew the two screws marked with lett. A fig.14;

h)pull up the oven door glass and take it away from the oven door.

Clean the oven door glass with warm water and a softh cloth only.

Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door, following the procedure in reverse.

The correct operation of the oven is ensured by a gasket placed round the edge of the oven cavity.

Periodically check the condition of this gasket. If necessary, clean it without using abrasive cleaning products.

If the gasket shows to be damaged, call you local Zanussi Service Centre. Do not use the oven until it has been repaired.
