If these stains are difficult to remove, use special products available on the market. after cleaning , it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. € the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the enamel.

Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper; simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
