Cleaning
WARNING: Switch off the appliance and allow it to
cool before cleaning is to be carried out.
General Instructions
• Check whether the cleaning materials are
appropriate and recommended by the
manufacturer before use on your appliance.
• Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners which do
not contain particles. Do not use caustic (corrosive)
creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough wire
wool or hard tools as they may damage the cooker
surfaces.
Do not use cleaners that contain particles as they
may scratch the glass, enamelled and/or painted
parts of your appliance.
• Should any liquids overflow, clean them
immediately to avoid parts becoming damaged.
Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning any part of
the appliance.
Cleaning the Inside of the Oven
• The inside of enamelled ovens are best cleaned
while the oven is warm.
• Wipe the oven with a soft cloth soaked in soapy
water after each use. Then, wipe the oven over
again with a wet cloth and dry it.
• You may need to use a liquid cleaning material
occasionally to completely clean the oven.
Pyrolytic cleaning
WARNING: Before activating the pyrolytic cleaning
function, remove any excessive spillage and make
sure that the oven is empty. Do not leave anything
inside the oven, such as wire grids, trays, or oven
shelves and supports (if available), as they could be
damaged during pyrolytic cleaning.
• The oven cavity is coated with a special enamel
that is resistant to high temperatures. During the
pyrolytic cleaning operation, the temperature inside
the oven can reach about 475⁰C.
• The oven door will automatically lock, for your
safety, while the pyrolytic cleaning function is
in operation. After the cleaning is complete, the
cooling fan will begin operating and the oven will
remain locked until it has cooled.
• It is advisable to wipe the oven down with a sponge
soaked in warm water, after each cooking operation
or pyrolytic cleaning cycle has been carried out.
• During the pyrolytic operation, a smell and some
fumes will emanate due to the destruction of
food residue within the oven. This is normal. Oven
cleaning fumes could be fatal to birds, children and
pets so all should be kept away until the operation is
complete.
• The area where the oven is installed should be
kept well-ventilated, especially during the pyrolytic
cleaning function, and any doors leading into the
area should be closed to avoid passing the smell
and fumes throughout.
Cleaning the Glass Parts
• Clean the glass parts of your appliance on a regular
basis.
• Use a glass cleaner to clean the inside and outside
of the glass parts. Then, rinse and dry them
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Parts (if available)
• Clean the stainless steel parts of your appliance on
a regular basis.
• Wipe the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth,
soaked in only water. Then, dry them thoroughly
with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the stainless steel parts while they
are still hot from cooking.
Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salt, water,
lemon or tomato juice on the stainless steel for a
