Routine Maintenance and Cleaning

Disconnect the oven from the source of electricity

before performing any maintenance or cleaning. To

ensure a long life for your oven, clean it frequently and

carefully, keeping in mind that:

·

Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.

·

the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels

should be washed with warm water without the addition

of abrasive powders or corrosive substances which

could damage the finish;

·

stainless steel may become marked if it comes into

contact with very hard water or harsh detergents

(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After

cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It

is also recommended to dry any water drops;

·

avoid dirt and grease accumulating on the control panel

by cleaning it frequently. Use non-abrasive sponges or

soft cloths to avoid scratching enamelled or shiny steel

parts.

Cleaning the hob surface

Prior to cooking, the hob surface should always be cleaned

using a damp cloth to remove any dust or stray food

particles. The hob surface should be regularly cleaned

with a lukewarm solution of water and a mild detergent.

Periodically it may be necessary to use a proprietary

ceramic hob cleaner. First remove all spilt food and fat

with a window scrape, preferably the razor blade type

 (not supplied) or, failing that, the fixed blade

razor edge type (see Fig. A). Then clean the hob while it

is still warm to the touch with a suitable cleaner and paper

towel.

Then rinse it and wipe it dry with a clean cloth .If aluminium

foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt on the

hob surface they should be immediately removed from

the hot cooking area with a scraper. This will avoid any

possible damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar

or any food with a high sugar content.

Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers of any type.

Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and stain

removers should also not be used (see Fig. B).
