Cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning, switch the oven
off and let it cool down.
The appliance must not be
cleaned with a superheated
steam cleaner or a steam jet
cleaner.
Important: Before cleaning the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains.
To prolong the service life of your
appliance, follow the cleaning procedure
below:
-
Only perform when the oven has cooled
down.
-
Clean the enamelled parts with soapy
water.
-
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
-
Dry the stainless steel parts and glass with
a soft cloth.
-
If there are stubborn stains, use
commercially available cleaning agents for
stainless steel or warm vinegar.
The oven's enamel is extremely durable
and stain-resistant. Nevertheless, hot fruit
juices (lemons, plums etc.) can leave dull,
rough stains if left on the surface of the
enamel. However, such marks in the brightly
polished surface of the enamel do not affect
the operation of the oven. Clean the oven
thoroughly after every use. Dirt is then easy to
clean off. It prevents dirt being burnt on.
Detergents
Before using any detergents, always
ensure that they are suitable for your oven
and recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should not
be used as they may dull the surface finishes.
Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel,
oven door and door seal using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
liquid detergent has been added.
To avoid damage to the oven glass door,
never use any of the following:
•
Household cleaners and bleaches
•
Impregnated cleaning pads that are
unsuitable
for
saucepans.
•
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
•
Chemical oven cleaners or aerosols
•
Rust removers
•
Stain removers for sinks / wash basins
Clean the outer and inner surfaces of the
glass door using warm soapy water. If the
inner surface of the glass door is very dirty, use
cleaning products such as "Hob Brite". Do not
use paint scrapers to remove soilage.
Oven cavity
It is best to clean the enamelled floor of
the oven cavity while the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven with a soft cloth which
should be washed in warm, soapy water
after every use. The oven must be cleaned
thoroughly from time to time. Use a
conventional oven cleaner for this.
