Instructions for the user THE FIRST TIME YOU USE THE OVEN GB Clean the oven thoroughly with soapy water and rinse well. To remove the lateral frames from smooth-walled ovens, proceed as shown in the figure. Operate the oven for about 30 minutes at maximum temperature to burn off all traces of grease which might otherwise create unpleasant smells when cooking. Important: As a safety precaution, before cleaning the oven, always disconnect the plug from the power socket or the power cable from the oven. Do not use acid or alkaline substances to clean the oven (lemon juice, vinegar, salt, tomatoes etc.). Do not use chlorine based products, acids or abrasive products to clean the painted surfaces of the oven. SELF-CLEANING CATALYTIC PANELS Our smooth walled ovens can be fitted with selfcleaning panels to cover the inside walls. These special panels are simply hooked on to the walls before the side frames are fitted. They are coated in a special, micro-porous catalytic enamel which oxidises and gradually vaporises splashes of grease and oil at cooking temperatures above 200°C. If the oven is not clean after cooking fatty foods, operate the empty oven for 60 minutes (max.) at maximum temperature. Never wash or clean self-cleaning panels with abrasive, acid, or alkaline products. 7
