General Cleaning Information
General warnings
- Wait for the product to cool before cleaning the product. Hot surfaces may cause burns!
- Do not apply the detergents directly on the hot surfaces. This may cause permanent stains.
- The product should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after each operation. Thus, food residues shall be easily cleaned and these residues shall be prevented from burning when the product is used again later. Thus, the service life of the appliance extends and frequently faced problems are decreased.
- Do not use steam cleaning products for cleaning.
- Some detergents or cleaning agents cause damage to the surface. Unsuitable cleaning agents are: bleach, cleaning products containing ammonia, acid or chloride, steam cleaning products, descaling agents, stain and rust removers, abrasive cleaning products (cream cleaners, scouring powder, scouring cream, abrasive and scratching scrubber, wire, sponges, cleaning cloths containing dirt and detergent residues).
- No special cleaning material is needed in the cleaning made after each use. Clean the appliance using dishwashing detergent, warm water and a soft cloth or sponge and dry it with a dry cloth.
- Be sure to completely wipe off any remaining liquid after cleaning and immediately clean any food splashing around during cooking.
- Do not wash any component of your appliance in a dishwasher unless otherwise stated in the user’s manual.
Inox - stainless surfaces
- Do not use acid or chlorine-containing cleaning agents to clean stainless-inox surfaces and handles.
- Stainless-inox surface may change colour in time. This is normal. After each operation, clean with a detergent suitable for the stainless or inox surface.
- Clean with a soft soapy cloth and liquid (non-scratching) detergent suitable for inox surfaces, taking care to wipe in one direction.
- Remove lime, oil, starch, milk and protein stains on the glass and inox surfaces immediately without waiting. Stains may rust under long periods of time.
- Cleaners sprayed/applied to the surface should be cleaned immediately. Abrasive cleaners left on the surface cause the surface to turn white.
Enamelled surfaces
- The oven must cool down before cleaning the cooking area. Cleaning on hot surfaces shall create both fire hazard and damage the enamel surface.
- After each use, clean the enamel surfaces using dishwashing detergent, warm water and a soft cloth or sponge and dry them with a dry cloth.
- If your product has an easy steam cleaning function, you can make easy steam cleaning for light non-permanent dirt. (See “Easy Steam Cleaning”.)
- “Quick&Shine” oven inner surface and grill cleaner and non-scratching scrubbing wire that is used on enamelled surfaces for hard stains and recommended by authorized service can be used. Do not use an external oven cleaner.
Catalytic surfaces
- The side walls in the cooking area can only be covered with enamel or catalytic walls. It varies by model.
- The catalytic walls have a light matte and porous surface. The catalytic walls of the oven should not be cleaned.
- Catalytic surfaces absorb oil thanks to its porous structure and start to shine when the surface is saturated with oil, in this case it is recommended to replace the parts.
Glass surfaces
- When cleaning glass surfaces, do not use hard metal scrapers and abrasive cleaning materials. They can damage the glass surface.
- Clean the appliance using dishwashing detergent, warm water and a microfiber cloth specific for glass surfaces and dry it with a dry microfiber cloth.
- If there is residual detergent after cleaning, wipe it with cold water and dry with a clean and dry microfiber cloth. Residual detergent may damage the glass surface next time.
- Under no circumstances should the dried-up residue on the glass surface be cleaned off with serrated knives, wire wool or similar scratching tools.
- You can remove the calcium stains (yellow stains) on the glass surface with the commercially available descaling agent, with a descaling agent such as vinegar or lemon juice.
- If the surface is heavily soiled, apply the cleaning agent on the stain with a sponge and wait a long time for it to work properly. Then clean the glass surface with a wet cloth.
- Discolorations and stains on the glass surface are normal and not defects.
Plastic parts and painted surfaces
- Clean plastic parts and painted surfaces using dishwashing detergent, warm water and a soft cloth or sponge and dry them with a dry cloth.
- Do not use hard metal scrapers and abrasive cleaners. They may damage the surfaces.
- Ensure that the joints of the components of the product are not left damp and with detergent. Otherwise, corrosion may occur on these joints.
