Maintenance Features
General Care and Cleaning:
- Before Maintenance: Deactivate the appliance and disconnect from the mains. Ensure the appliance is cold.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the appliance regularly to prevent deterioration of surface material. Wipe cavity and door dry after each use to prevent condensation and corrosion.
- Cleaning Agents: Use a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents. Avoid abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents, or metal objects. Do not use steam cleaners.
- Glass Door/Hinged Lids: Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean glass surfaces to prevent scratching and shattering.
- Catalytic Enamel: Do not clean with any detergent.
- Burners: Do not clean in the dishwasher.
- Oven Spray: Follow safety instructions on packaging if used.
- Hob: Clean after each use. Remove melted plastic, sugar, and food with sugar immediately. Remove limescale, water rings, fat stains, and metallic discoloration when cool. Clean with a moist cloth and non-abrasive detergent.
- Spark Plug: Keep ceramic ignition candle and metal electrode clean to prevent difficult lighting.
- Pan Supports: Not dishwasher safe; wash by hand. Ensure correct positioning after cleaning.
Specific Cleaning Procedures:
- Initial Cleaning: Remove all accessories and shelf supports, clean the oven and accessories, then replace them.
- Oven Cavity: Clean after each use to prevent fat accumulation and fire risk, especially for the grill pan. Dry with a soft cloth.
- Stainless Steel or Aluminium Ovens: Clean the oven door and control panel with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid steel wool, acids, or abrasive materials.
- Catalytic Cleaning: The walls with catalytic coating are self-cleaning. Heat the empty oven regularly (1 hour at maximum temperature) to support the self-cleaning process. Clean the oven floor with warm water and washing-up liquid. Remove all accessories before activating catalytic cleaning.
- Shelf Supports: Removable for cleaning. Instructions provided for removal and reinstallation.
- Door Glasses: Instructions for removing and cleaning the door glass panels for both top and main ovens.
