Cleaning and Maintenance
Caution:
Disconnect the appliance from mains power
supply before any operation.
Cleaning the Oven Interior
1 Easy-to-clean enamel ovens
Use nylon brushes or sponges with warm
soapy water to clean enamelled surfaces
such as the bottom of the oven. Clean when
the oven is cold. Use oven-cleaning products
only on enamelled surfaces and always fol-
low the manufacturer's instructions.
2 Ovens coated in special enamel adapted
to other cleaning systems
Please consult the Specifications Sheet for
your oven.
Caution
Do not clean the oven interior with steam or
pressurised water cleaning equipment. Do not
use metal scouring pads, wire brushes or any
utensil that can scratch the enamel.
• Other oven models have a catalytic (self-
cleaning) cleaning system. This system
removes small traces of grease while cook-
ing at high temperatures.
Use of Fold-down Grill (depending on Model)
To clean the top part of the oven:
• Wait until the oven is cold.
• Turn the screw (A) and lower the grill ele-
ment as far as possible. Figure 1
• In other oven models, push the rod of the
grill element (B) with both hands until it is
released from the upper fastening point.
Figure 2
• Turn the element round and clean the upper
part of the oven.
• Finally, return the grill element to its original
position.
Cleaning the Catalytic Panels
If the remains of food on the enamel cannot
be cleaned off using normal (self-cleaning)
methods, then:
1 Dismantle the panels and leave them to
soak long enough to soften the remains.
2 Clean the panels with a sponge and clean
water.
3 Dry the panels and mount them in the oven
again.
4 Connect the oven for an hour at 200 ºC.
Caution
Do not use commercial cleaning products or
abrasive powder cleansers on the surface of
the catalytic panels.
Instructions
for
Dismantling
Catalytic Panels and their Supports.
1 Remove all accessories from inside the
oven.
2 Pull on the supports (C), releasing them
from the nut (D). Figure 3
3 Unscrew the nut (D) to release the flat cata-
lytic panels. Figure 4
4 To dismantle the panel at the back, remove
the screw (E). Figure 5
5 To assemble, proceed in reverse order.
Caution
For your own safety, never turn the oven on with-
out the rear panel in position since this pro-
tects the fan.
Cleaning the Oven Exterior and
Accessories
Clean the outside of the oven and accessories
with warm soapy water or with a mild detergent.
Take great care when cleaning stainless steel
surfaces. Use only sponges or cloths that do
not scratch.
