CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
By ensuring proper cleaning and mainte-
nance of your cooker you can have a signi-
ficant influence on the continuing fault-free
operation of your appliance.
Before you start cleaning, the cooker must
be switched off and you should ensure
that all knobs are set to the “
”/“0” posi
-
tion. Do not start cleaning until the cooker
has completely cooled.
Oven
The oven should be cleaned after every
use. When cleaning the oven the lighting
should be switched on to enable you to
see the surfaces better.
The oven chamber should only be washed
with warm water and a small amount of
washing-up liquid.
Electric hob
From time to time a lukewarm heating plate
should be covered with a thin layer of an ava-
ilable lubricating agent,. It is recommended to
use engine oil applied for sewing machines or
bicycles. Do not apply edible oil, because its
salt contents may damage the plates. Dried
up spillage on the surface or rim of the plates
should be removed with a dry pad or brush.
Do not use abrasives, because they may
cause the forming of rust on the plates. By no
means rub the plates with abrasive paper.
Take care not to let salt drop on the plates. It
dissolves in water poducing ugly rust spots.
Use only dry pots and do not put wet lids on
the plates. The enamel parts of the cooker
can be wiped with a gentle rinsing solution
and dried with a soft cloth. Spillage can be
wiped during cooking with a dry cloth, to
prevent building up of hard to clean burnt
deposits.
Chrome plated parts (e.g. rings around
heating plates can be easily polished with
a soft cloth).
