3.2 Cooking Modes

4.1 General notes on cleaning

Regular cleaning extends appliance life. Wait for the oven to cool before manual cleaning. Never use abrasive detergents, steel wool, or sharp objects. Use only water, soap, or bleach-based detergents (ammonia).

GLASS PARTS

Clean the glass window with absorbent kitchen towel after each use. For stubborn stains, use a detergent-soaked, well-wrung sponge, then rinse with water.

OVEN WINDOW SEAL

If dirty, clean the seal with a slightly damp sponge.

ACCESSORIES

Clean accessories with a wet, soapy sponge before rinsing and drying. Avoid abrasive detergents.

ROASTING DISH

After grilling, remove the pan. Pour out hot fat and wash the pan in hot water with soap. For greasy residues, soak in water and detergent, or use a dishwasher or commercial oven detergent. Never put a dirty pan back into the oven.

4.2 Self-cleaning oven with catalytic panels

Optional special self-cleaning panels with microporous coating are available. Fat splattered during roasting is broken down by catalysis and turns into gas. Excessive splattering may block pores, hindering self-cleaning. Capacity can be restored by running the empty oven at maximum for 10-20 minutes.

Do not use abrasive products, metal wads, sharp objects, rough cloths, or chemical products that may damage the catalytic lining.

Use deep roasting trays for fatty foods and place a tray underneath the grill to catch surplus fat. If the lining is heavily soiled, remove surplus grease with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water.

The lining must be porous for self-cleaning to be effective.

N.B.: Catalytic linings have a working life of about 300 hours and should be replaced after this period.

OVEN LIGHTING

Disconnect power before cleaning or replacing the lamp. The bulb and cover are made of high-temperature resistant material.

4.3 Maintenance
