Care and maintenance

Interior lighting

If the bulb in your appliance should fail, please contact CDA Customer Care to arrange a service visit. The bulb and appliance must not be serviced by anyone except a CDA authorised service agent.

IMPORTANT

• Before any cleaning or maintenance is started, the appliance

must be switched o at (and if possible, disconnected from) the power supply.

• If the oven has been in use, let the oven cavity and the heating

elements cool down before attempting any maintenance.

• Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.

• Once care and maintenance is complete, ensure that all parts

are correctly replaced and dry before using the oven.

• Do not store ﬂammable material in the oven.

• Do not allow grease or food particles to build up around the

door or seal.

Cleaning the oven exterior

As the oven has a decorative and a stainless steel surface, you should use a non-abrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.

Cleaning inside of the oven

It is recommended that the interior of the oven be cleaned after every use using suitable products, especially if any spillage has occurred. The shelves can be removed and washed by hand or in the dishwasher.

Page 22

Cleaning stainless steel

Stainless steel can be eectively cleaned by simply using a dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth. Proprietary stainless steel cleaners are available. We recommend a clean microﬁbre cloth for cleaning stainless steel surfaces.

Cleaning the grill

When used regularly, the grill element does not need cleaning as the intense heat will burn o any splashes. The interior ceiling may need regular cleaning, which should be done with warm water, detergent and a sponge. If the grill is not used regularly, it should be run for 10 minutes every month to burn o any splashes, in order to reduce the risk of ﬁre.

Please note: You should ensure that new sponges are washed thoroughly before use to remove any impurities and that used sponges are cleaned prior to use.

Unpleasant odours (such as ﬁsh) can be removed by adding a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of water and microwaving it for 1 to 2 minutes. Please take extreme care with microwaved liquids (see page

8).

IMPORTANT: Do not use the following to clean the oven or door

• Sharp or abrasive cleaning agents

• Metal or glass scrapers (even to clean the glass in the door)

• Scouring pads or hard/abrasive sponges

• Cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.
