Care and cleaning
If cleaned and properly cared for, your oven will keep its bright
appearance and operating performance for many years to
come. Advice on how to care for and clean your oven is
provided below.
Notes
■ Different colours may be seen in your front panel due to the
various materials used in its manufacture, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■ Dark patches in the door's glass panel may seem to be dirt
but they are in fact reflections from the oven light.
■ Enamel burns at very high temperatures. This may cause
slight discolouration. This is normal and does not affect the
oven's operation. The edges of thin baking trays may not be
completely enamelled. They may therefore feel slightly rough,
although their corrosive protection will be unaffected.
Cleaning products
Follow the indications provided in the table to avoid damaging
the various oven surfaces by using unsuitable cleaning
products. Do not use
■ abrasive or acidic cleaning products
■ strong products containing alcohol
■ scourers or hard sponges
■ high-pressure or steam cleaners
Wash new dishcloths thoroughly before use.
Cleaning the self cleaning surfaces in the oven interior
The inside rear and side walls and top of some ovens may be
lined with a highly porous ceramic lining. This lining absorbs
splashes produced during baking and roasting, dissolving them
while the oven is working. This cleaning will be most effective at
higher temperatures and during longer cooking times.
Proceed as follows if the oven is still dirty after being used
several times:
1.Thoroughly clean the bottom and any walls that do not have
this lining.
2.Programming the hot air function N.
3.Empty the oven and then leave it on with the door closed for
approximately 2 hours at maximum temperature.
The ceramic lining will regenerate. Once the oven has cooled
down, remove any brown and white stains with water and a soft
sponge.
Slight discolouration of the lining does not affect its self-
cleaning performance.
Caution!
■ Do not use abrasive cleaning products. These would scratch
and impair the highly porous lining.
■ Never use oven cleaning products on ceramics. If oven
cleaner is spilled on this accidentally, immediately remove it
using lots of water and a sponge.
Cleaning the oven's enamelled bottom and walls
Use a cleaning cloth and hot water with a little soap or vinegar.
If very dirty, use a fine steel scourer or a special oven cleaning
product. These must only be used when the oven interior is
cold. Do not use metal scourers or special oven cleaning
products on self-cleaning surfaces.
