10.2.3 Ignition plugs and thermocouples
To work well, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must
always be very clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a wet rag if necessary. Any dry residue should be
removed with a toothpick or a needle.
10.3 Cleaning the inside of the oven
For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take
out all removable parts.
Clean the oven grill and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive
detergent. Rinse and dry.
Clean the inside walls of the oven (after removing the self-cleaning liners,
see point 7.2.4 Removing the self-cleaning liners) with a soft cloth
moistened with an ammonium solution, rinse then dry.
I
f there are still
stains or drops, place a damp ammoniac-
s
oaked cloth on the bottom of
the oven, close the door and after a few hours wash the oven with hot
water and liquid detergent. Rinse and dry.
10.3.1 Self-cleaning liners
The main oven is equipped with continuous self-
c
leaning enamelled
liners.
These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over
time.
10.3.2 Using the self-cleaning liners
Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from
accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at
temperatures of not less than 200°C for a time varying from 30 to 60
minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues
present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a
damp sponge
10.3.3 Looking after the self-cleaning liners
The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary
detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special
characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners.
