CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Important: Do not use water pressure cleaners or steam cleaners. When you finish cooking; wait for the oven to cool and then clean it to prevent the build-up of baked-on residues.

Oven cavity
� Do not use abrasive cleaners or pan scourers. 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 several shelves, 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. Wipe with a dry cloth. � Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, which dull the surface. In the event 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 mild detergent and a soft window cleaning cloth or a microfibre cloth that does not leave fibres on the surface. Wipe horizontally, without exerting pressure. � Do not use corrosive products, hard sponges or rough cloths. Clean the aluminium surfaces with a dry cloth.

Self-cleaning catalytic side panels and rear cavity (if provided) - Cleaning cycle
� Heat the oven to 200° C when empty and maintain this temperature for about an hour. � At the end of the cycle and when the oven has cooled, use a damp sponge to remove any food
residues. � Never clean the self-cleaning catalytic panels and rear cavity with abrasive products, rough brushes, pan scourers, or oven cleaner sprays, as they will lose their automatic cleaning properties.

Accessories
� Soak the accessories in water with washing up detergent immediately after use. Food residues can be easily removed using a brush or sponge.
