abrasive detergents. If any of these
products accidentally comes into contact

If it is very dirty, add a few drops of
washing up detergent to the water.
Finish off with a dry cloth.
Oven interior
i
IMPORTANT: do not use abrasive
sponges or metallic scrapers or scourers.
Over time, these can ruin enamelled surfaces
and the oven door glass.
After every use, allow the oven to cool •
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.
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):
i
IMPORTANT: 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.
Operate the oven empty with the forced •
air function at 200°C for about one hour.
Next, leave the appliance to cool down •
before removing any food residue with
a sponge.
Cleaning cycle of ovens with Pyrolytic
function (if present):
WARNING!
Do not touch the oven during the •
pyrolysis cycle.
Keep children away from the oven •
during the pyrolysis cycle.
This function burns off spatters produced
inside the oven during cooking at a
temperature of approx. 500°C. At this high
temperature, the deposits turn into a light
ash which can be easily wiped away with
a damp cloth, when the oven is cool. Do
not select the pyrolysis function after every
use, only when the oven is very dirty or
produces smoke or fumes while preheating
or cooking.
If the oven is installed below a hob, •
make sure that all burners or electric
hotplates are switched off during the
self-cleaning (pyrolysis) function.
Remove all accessories before running •
the pyrolysis function.
