Use special oven cleaners and follow the manufacturer's instructions. • After every use, wait for the oven to cool then clean it to prevent the build-up of baked-on food residues. • With long cooking times or when cooking on different levels, especially food with a high water content (pizzas, stuffed vegetables, etc. ) condensation may form on the inside of the door and the seal. When the oven is cool, dry the inside of the door with a cloth or sponge. • Clean the glass of the door with a suitable liquid detergent. • The oven door may be removed to facilitate cleaning. To clean the upper part of the oven the grill heating element can be lowered (only on some models). Exterior of the oven • Clean with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up detergent to the water. • Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, which dull the surface. In the event that one of these products comes into contact with the oven, immediately clean it using a damp cloth. • Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are determined by the different materials used, such as glass, plastic and metal. Ovens with aluminium front panel • Clean using a delicate detergent and a soft window cleaning cloth or a microfibre cloth that does not leave fibres on the surface.
