Cleaning The Oven Cavity - Smeg A11XPY-9 Manual

4.3 Cleaning the oven cavity

In order to keep your oven in the best
possible condition, clean it regularly after
letting it cool down.
Avoid letting food residue dry inside the
oven cavity, as this could damage the
enamel.
Take out all removable parts before
cleaning.
For easier cleaning, we recommend
removing:
• the door;
• the rack/tray support frames;
• removable guides, where fitted;
• the seal.
If you are using specific cleaning
products, we recommend running
the appliance at maximum
temperature for 15-20 minutes in
order to eliminate any residue.
Removing racks/trays support frames
Removing the rack/tray support frames
enables the sides to be cleaned more
easily.
To remove the rack/tray support frames:
• Pull the frame towards the inside of the
oven to unhook it from its groove A, then
slide it out of the seats B at the back.
Cleaning and maintenance
• When cleaning is complete, repeat the
above procedures to put the rack/tray
support frames back in.
Cleaning the top section (pyrolytic
models excluded)
The oven cavity is fitted with a tilting heating
element which facilitates cleaning the top
part (roof) of the oven.
1. Free the upper heating element by gently
lifting it and rotating its retainers by 90°.
2. Gently lower the heating element until it
stops.
Improper use
Risk of damage to the appliance
• Do not excessively bend the element
during cleaning.
3. After cleaning, place the heating element
back in position and turn the retainers to
lock it in place again.
