5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5.1 Cleaning
Be sure that all control switches are off and your appliance cooled before cleaning your oven. Plug
off the appliance. Check whether they are appropriate and recommended by the manufacturer
before using the cleaning materials on your oven. As they may damage the surfaces, do not use
caustic creams, abrasive cleaning powders, thick wire wool or hard tools. In case the liquids that
overflow around your oven burn, the enameled parts may be damaged. Immediately clean the
overflown liquids.
Cleaning of Your Hob
• Lift up the pan supports, caps and crowns of hob burners(Figure 15).
• Wipe and clean the back panel with a soapy cloth.
• Wash the caps and crowns of hob burners and rinse them. Do not leave them wet, immediately
dry them with paper cloth.
• After cleaning, make sure that you re-assemble the parts correctly.
• Do not clean any part of the hob with metal sponge. It causes the surface be scratched.
• The pan support top surfaces may be scratched in time due to usage. These parts will not get
rusted and it is not a production fault.
• During cleaning of the hob plate, make sure that no water flows inside the burner caps, as this
may block the injectors.
