Cleaning

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, disconnect the oven from the power supply. To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:

• Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin the surfaces.

• The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents (for example cleaning powders, etc.) and abrasive sponges for dishes
  or acids (such as lime scale remover, etc.) as these could damage the enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly tough to remove, use a special product for oven cleaning, following the instructions provided with the product.

• If the oven is in use for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Once the oven has cooled, remove the condensation using a dry cloth.
• There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which creates a heat seal. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact the customer services helpline. We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
• Never put aluminium foil at the bottom of the oven, as the build up of heat could compromise cooking and even damage the enamel.

• Clean the glass door (5) using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.

• Open the door (5).

• Clean all oven accessories with warm water or washing up liquid and polish dry with a soft clean cloth.
• Clean the oven interior with a soft clean cloth.
• Wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth.
• Let the oven and all accessories dry well.

WARNING: Always switch off the electricity supply before carrying out maintenance work on the hood. In the event of a fault, contact customer services.
