Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
WARNING
Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning.
General instructions
- Check that the cleaning products are suitable and recommended by their manufacturer before using them on the appliance.
- Use particle-free cream or liquid cleaners. Do not use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough steel wool or hard tools, as they may damage the cooker's surfaces.
WARNING
Do not use cleaners that contain particles, as they could scratch the glass, or the enamelled and/or painted parts of the appliance.
- If some liquid spills over, immediately wipe it up to avoid damaging the parts.
WARNING
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of this appliance.
Cleaning the inside of the oven
- Preferably clean the inside of the enamelled oven when it is hot.
- Wipe the oven with a soft cloth soaked in soapy water after each use. Then, wipe the oven again with a damp cloth and dry it.
- You may need to occasionally use a liquid cleaning product to completely clean the oven.

Catalytic cleaning
- The oven has catalytic panels fitted inside the cavity. These are the light coloured matte panels on the sides and/or the matte panel at the back of the oven. They work by collecting any grease and oil residues during cooking.
- The liner self-cleans by absorbing the grease and oil, and burning them to ashes, which can then be easily removed from the bottom of the oven with a damp cloth. The liner must be porous to remain effective. The liner may discolour with age.
- If a large amount of grease has been spilled on the liner, it may make it less effective. To overcome this problem, set the oven to maximum heat for about 20 to 30 minutes. Once the oven has cooled down, wipe the bottom of the oven.
- It is not advisable to clean the catalytic liners manually. Using a pad of steel wool filled with soap or any other abrasive product will damage the product. Furthermore, we do not recommend using spray cleaners on the liners. The walls of a catalytic coating can become ineffective when covered with too much grease. Excess grease can be removed with a soft cloth or sponge moistened with warm water, and the cleaning can be done as described above.
Removing the catalytic coating
To remove the catalytic coating, remove the screws that secure each catalytic panel to the oven.

Cleaning the ceramic glass
Ceramic glass can bear the weight of heavy utensils but may break when struck by a sharp object.
WARNING
Ceramic hobs: If the surface is cracked, turn off the appliance to avoid the risk of an electric shock and contact the maintenance department.
- Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean the ceramic glass. Then, rinse and dry the glass thoroughly with a dry cloth.
WARNING
Do not use steel cleaning products as these may damage the glass.
- If substances with a low melting point are used in the base or on the coatings, they can damage the ceramic hob. If any plastic, aluminium foil, sugar or sweet food items fall onto the ceramic hob while it is hot, remove it as quickly and as safely as possible. If these substances melt, they can damage the ceramic hob. When cooking very sweet dishes, like jam, cover the hob with a suitable protective product beforehand if possible.
- Dust on the surface should be wiped off with a damp cloth.
- Any change in the colour of the ceramic glass will not affect the structure or durability of the ceramic and is not the result of a change in the material.
A change in the colour of the ceramic glass can be caused by a number of factors:
- Spilled food that was not wiped off the surface.
- Using incorrect dishes on the hob will wear out the surface.
- Using unsuitable cleaning products.
Cleaning the glass parts
- Regularly clean the enamelled parts of the appliance.
- Use a window cleaning product to clean the inside and outside of the glass parts. Then, rinse and dry the glass thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Cleaning the enamelled parts
- Clean the enamelled parts of your appliance regularly.
- Wipe the enamelled parts with a soft cloth dipped in soapy water. Then, wipe them again with a damp cloth and dry them.
WARNING
- Do not clean the enamelled parts that are still hot after cooking.
- Do not leave any vinegar, coffee, milk, salt, water, lemon or tomato juice on the enamel for too long.
Cleaning the stainless steel parts (if applicable)
- Regularly clean the stainless steel parts of the appliance.
- Wipe the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth dipped in water only. Then, dry the glass thoroughly with a dry cloth.
WARNING
- Do not clean the stainless steel parts while they are still hot after cooking.
- Do not leave any vinegar, coffee, milk, salt, water, lemon or tomato juice on the stainless steel for too long.
Cleaning the painted surfaces (if applicable)
- Stains from tomatoes, tomato paste, ketchup, lemon, oil derivatives, milk, sugary foods, sugary drinks and coffee should be wiped off immediately with a cloth dipped in warm water. If these stains are not wiped away and dried from the surfaces they are on, do NOT scrub them with hard objects (sharp objects, steel and plastic scrubbers, dish sponge which will damage the surface) or cleaning products containing high levels of alcohol, stain removers, grease removers or abrasive surface chemicals. Otherwise, corrosion may occur on the powder-coated surfaces, and stains may appear. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any damage caused by the use of inappropriate products or cleaning methods.
Removing the oven door
