7 Maintenance and Cleaning

7.1 General Cleaning Information

General warnings
• Wait for the product to cool before clean-
ing the product. Hot surfaces may cause
burns!
• Do not apply the detergents directly on the
hot surfaces. This may cause permanent
stains.
• The product should be thoroughly cleaned
and dried after each operation. Thus, food
residues shall be easily cleaned and these
residues shall be prevented from burning
when the product is used again later.
Thus, the service life of the appliance ex-
tends and frequently faced problems are
decreased.
• Do not use steam cleaning products for
cleaning.
• Some detergents or cleaning agents
cause damage to the surface. Unsuitable
cleaning agents are: bleach, cleaning
products containing ammonia, acid or
chloride, steam cleaning products, descal-
ing agents, stain and rust removers, ab-
rasive cleaning products (cream cleaners,
scouring powder, scouring cream, abras-
ive and scratching scrubber, wire,
sponges, cleaning cloths containing dirt
and detergent residues).
• No special cleaning material is needed in
the cleaning made after each use. Clean
the appliance using dishwashing deter-
gent, warm water and a soft cloth or
sponge and dry it with a dry cloth.
• Be sure to completely wipe off any remain-
ing liquid after cleaning and immediately
clean any food splashing around during
cooking.
• Do not wash any component of your appli-
ance in a dishwasher.
Inox - stainless surfaces
• Do not use acid or chlorine-containing
cleaning agents to clean stainless-inox
surfaces and handles.
• Stainless-inox surface may change colour
in time. This is normal. After each opera-
tion, clean with a detergent suitable for the
stainless or inox surface.
• Clean with a soft soapy cloth and liquid
(non-scratching) detergent suitable for inox
surfaces, taking care to wipe in one direc-
tion.
• Remove lime, oil, starch, milk and protein
stains on the glass and inox surfaces im-
mediately without waiting. Stains may rust
under long periods of time.
• Cleaners sprayed/applied to the surface
should be cleaned immediately. Abrasive
cleaners left on the surface cause the sur-
face to turn white.
Enamelled surfaces
• After each use, clean the enamel surfaces
using dishwashing detergent, warm water
and a soft cloth or sponge and dry them
with a dry cloth.
• For difficult stains, an oven and grill
cleaner recommended on the website of
your product brand and a non-scratching
scouring pad can be used. Do not use an
external oven cleaner.
• The oven must cool down before cleaning
the cooking area. Cleaning on hot sur-
faces shall create both fire hazard and
damage the enamel surface.
Catalytic surfaces
• The side walls in the cooking area can only
be covered with enamel or catalytic walls.
It varies by model.
• The catalytic walls have a light matte and
porous surface. The catalytic walls of the
oven should not be cleaned.
• Catalytic surfaces absorb oil thanks to its
porous structure and start to shine when
the surface is saturated with oil, in this
case it is recommended to replace the
parts.
