Routine maintenance and cleaning

Disconnect the cooker from the electricity supply before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance operation. To

maximise the lifespan of the appliance, it should be cleaned regularly and according to the following instructions:

• Do not use steam cleaners on the appliance.

• The enamel-coated parts and the self-cleaning panels (if present) should be washed in warm water. Do not use

abrasive powders or corrosive substances as they could ruin these parts of the cooker.

• The inside of the oven should be cleaned at regular intervals while it is still warm, using hot water and detergent then

rinsing and drying it thoroughly.

• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive

detergents containing phosphorus. After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any remaining drops of water should

also be dried.

• Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with

a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause

the glass to crack.

Cleaning the surface of the hob

The surface of the hob should always be cleaned prior to cooking, using a damp cloth to remove any dust or stray food

particles. The surface should also be cleaned regularly with a solution of lukewarm water and mild detergent. It may be

necessary on occasions to use a specialised ceramic hob cleaner. First, remove all spilt food and fat with a window

scraper, preferably the razor blade type (not supplied) or, if this is not available, the fixed blade razor edge type.

Next, clean the hob while it is still warm to the touch, using a suitable detergent and paper towel.

Then rinse it thoroughly and wipe dry with a clean cloth. If aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt on

the surface of the hob they should be removed from the hot cooking area immediately with a scraper. This will help to avoid

any potential damage to the surface. The same process also applies to sugar and any food with a high sugar content.

Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers of any type. Never use corrosive cleaners (for example oven sprays or stain

removers).
