WARNING
Oven exterior
• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth.
If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up
detergent to the water. Finish off with a dry
cloth.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any
of these products accidentally comes into contact
with the appliance, clean immediately with a damp
microfibre cloth.
Oven interior
• After every use, allow the oven to cool and then
clean it, preferably while it is still warm in order
to remove built-up dirt and stains caused by
food residues (e.g. food with a high sugar
content).
• Use proprietary oven detergents and follow the
manufacturer's instructions to the letter.
• Clean the door glass with a suitable liquid
detergent. The oven door can be removed to
facilitate cleaning (see MAINTENANCE).
• The top heating element of the grill (see
MAINTENANCE) can be lowered (some models
only) to clean the roof of the oven.
NOTE: During prolonged cooking of foods with a
high water content (e.g. pizza, vegetables, etc.)
condensation may form on the inside of the door and
around the seal. When the oven is cold, dry the inside
of the door with a cloth or sponge.
Do not use abrasive sponges or metallic scrapers or
scourers. Over time, these can ruin enamelled
surfaces and the oven door glass.

CLEANING

- Never use steam cleaning equipment.
- Only clean the oven when it is cool to the touch.
- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Accessories
• Soak the accessories in water with washing up
detergent immediately after use, handling them
with oven gloves if still hot.
• Food residues can be easily removed using a
brush or sponge.
Cleaning the rear wall and catalytic side panels
of the oven (if present):
• Operate the oven empty with the fan-assisted
function at 200°C for about one hour
• Next, leave the appliance to cool down before
removing any food residue with a sponge.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, coarse
brushes, pot scourers or oven sprays which could
damage the catalytic surface and ruin its self-
cleaning properties.
