Stainless steel sheet front side of the housing (depending on the model)
Clean this surface only with a mild detergent (soapsuds) and a soft sponge that will not scratch the finish. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or cleaners containing solvents as they may damage the housing finish.
Lacquer-coated surfaces and plastic parts (depending on the model)
Do not clean the knobs and buttons, door handles, stickers, and rating/type plates with abrasive cleaners or abrasive
cleaning materials, alcohol-based cleaners, or with alcohol. Immediately remove any stains with a soft non-abrasive
cloth and some water, in order to avoid damaging the surface.
You may also use cleaners and cleaning materials intended for such surfaces as instructed by their respective
manufacturers.
Enamel surfaces (oven, cooking hob)
Use a damp sponge with detergent for cleaning. Fatty stains can be removed with warm water and special detergent
for enamel. Never clean enamelled surfaces with abrasive means producing irremovable damage to the appliance
surface.
Glass surfaces
Do not use rough abrasive cleaning agents or sharp metal scrapes for cleaning of oven door glass, as they could crack
the surface and causing the breaking of glass. Clean the glass surfaces with special means for glass, mirrors and
windows.
INFORMATION!
Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaners.
CLEANING THE COOKING HOBS
Clean the area around the cooking zones with hot water and some washing-up liquid. For
stubborn dirt, use a steel wool pad soaked with detergent; then, rinse the hob and wipe it dry.
Liquids containing salt, boiled-over liquids and moisture have detrimental effect on the cooking
zones. Always clean the cooking zones. Use regular cleaners and commercially available
conditioners to maintain the cooking zones. If the cooking zone is slightly warm, the cleaner will
penetrate the pores more readily.
Cooking zone rings are made of stainless steel. Because exposure to heat, they may take on a yellowish hue after a
certain period of use. This is a normal physical phenomenon. The yellowish spots may be removed with regular metal
cleaners. Aggressive dishwashing accessories are not suitable for cleaning of these rims, as they may cause scratches.
GAS BURNER The grid, cooking surface, and burner parts may be cleaned in hot water with some
washing up detergent. Do not clean them in a dishwasher. Clean the thermocouple and
the spark plug with a soft brush. These parts have to be spotlessly clean to function
correctly. Clean the burner crown and cap. Make sure the slots on the burner crown are
not clogged or otherwise blocked. After cleaning, thoroughly dry all the parts and
reassemble them correctly. Any party placed askew will make burner ignition harder.
Burner caps are finished in black enamel. Due to high temperatures, discoloration cannot be avoided. However,
it does not affect burner operation.
OVEN
Clean the oven walls with a damp sponge and detergent. To clean stubborn stains burned into the oven wall use a
special detergent for enamel. After cleaning carefully wipe the oven dry. Clean the oven only when it is completely
cold. Never use abrasive agents, because they will scratch enameled surface. Wash the oven utensils with a sponge
and detergent. You can also use special detergents to remove rough stains or burns.
