Maintenance and cleaning

3.1 Cleaning the accessories. The accessories are dishwasher-safe. To wash them up by hand, use ordinary detergent. Leave them to soak for easier cleaning.
3.2 Cleaning the inside of the oven. Remove the side rails (3.2.1) (3.2.2). When the rails have been taken out, wet a cloth in hot soapy water and use it to clean the side walls of the oven (3.2.3). When you have cleaned them, replace the guides.

3.3 Rough-walled models. Catalytic enamel (self-degreasing). On these models, the rear plate and side panels are covered with a self-cleaning enamel that removes the grease while the oven is functioning. The side panels are reversible, doubling the lifetime of the coating.

To remove the self-cleaning panels, firstly remove the side rails (3.2.1) (3.2.2).

If the panels are not performing the self-cleaning process sufficiently, they will need regenerating. To do this, remove all the accessories and utensils from the inside of the oven. Thoroughly clean the oven surfaces that are not self-cleaning. Select the function.

Set the temperature to 250^ and set the time between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on how dirty the oven is.

When the cleaning programme ends and the oven has cooled down, wipe the self-cleaning elements with a damp sponge. They will then be totally functional again.

Note: Do not use specific oven cleaning products to clean the catalytic walls.

Do not scrape the surface with metal scouring pads or sharp or pointed instruments.

3.4 Cleaning the outside of the oven. Use neutral cleaning products. Dry the oven well with a soft cloth.

Warnings:

• Make sure the oven is switched off.
• Allow the glass to cool down before removing it.
• Never use steam cleaning machines.
