9. Cleaning (WARNING: Cut power to the appliance before every operation)
General cleaning
Before beginning any sort of cleaning work on the appliance, turn the power supply off (at the
magnetothermal safety switch) and the water supply (by closing the cut-off cock) and then let
the oven cool down completely.
The appliance must be cleaned frequently, preferably daily, to guarantee best operations and
long life. This is an electric appliance therefore for obvious reasons water should not be used in
excess for cleaning. However, it is absolutely forbidden to wash the appliance with water jets,
especially if they are pointed towards the aeration vents on the metal surface of the outside
casing (this could cause dangerous infiltrations that would damage the electric parts).
If grease remover detergents are used to clean the stainless steel, ensure they do not contain
corrosive acids (no sort of chlorine, even if it is diluted) or abrasive products. Follow the
indications given on the product and the warnings about its use, wearing rubber gloves during

cleaning.

Do not use iron pads, steel wool or scrapers as they would ruin the surfaces.
Do not leave food on the steel surfaces for a long time that contain acid substances (lemon
juice, vinegar, salt, etc.) as they could cause corrosion.
Cleaning the cooking chamber
For hygienic reasons, it is good practice to clean the cooking chamber at the end of each
cooking cycle, otherwise it should be cleaned at least once at the end of each day's use.
For easier cleaning, remove the side grills by unscrewing the 4 fixing screws (hold the reeded
nut between your thumb and forefinger and turn it in an anti-clockwise direction) and please
carry out the following operations:
- spray a special degreasing product for stainless steel on the external walls, on the fan
casing (do not spray it through the fan grids) and on the glass inside the door;
- leave the product to work for approximately 20 minutes with the door closed;
- turn the oven on to 70-80°C;
- run a cycle with maximum steam (knob "humidity\steam on 5) for around 15 minutes;
- when the cycle is over, switch the oven off, let the oven chamber cool down and flush
with plenty of water (use the shower provided)
- Dry with a soft cloth or run a heating cycle, with the temperature at 150-160°C for
about 10 minutes (the cycle can be repeated if necessary).
The side grills and drainage plug must be cleaned separately and then replaced.
When cleaning is terminated, leave the oven door slightly ajar.
Cleaning the fans
The fans must be periodically cleaned with specific anti-limescale products. All the parts must be
carefully cleaned, removing all limescale deposits.
To have access to the fans remove the fan casing after removing the screws that fix it to the
cooking chamber. When cleaning is complete, replace the casing and screws.
Cleaning the door seal
For hygiene and good operations, it is good practice to clean the door seal at the end of each
day's work. It should be carefully washed with warm soapy water, rinsed and dried with a soft
cloth. Any incrustations or food deposits must be carefully removed, without using sharp metal
tools which could irreparably damage the seal.
