Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to taking any action for cleaning, make sure the apparatus is cut-out from the mains. It is
recommended that the oven interior be frequently cleaned. In particular, it should be cleaned every
time the grill is used to prevent excessive fouling of the oven interior that may generate fumes or
odours during subsequent cooking. Abrasive detergents and steam cleaning equipment should not
be used for cleaning.

Ovens provided with the hot air system are less subject to dirt inside.
Self-cleaning

(pyrolytic

Although it is not necessary to perform the cleaning operation each time the oven has been used,
do not let the oven get too dirty.
Before performing self-cleaning, take out all accessories (grills, dishes, pans) to avoid damaging
them, remove large cooking residues and then close the door ensuring that it is closed properly.
NOTE
Usually self-cleaning requires 2.30 to 3 hours
according to the amount of residue to be
removed.

off residues of the self-cleaning cycle with a damp cloth.
