10.2.2 Burner caps and flame cap crowns
The caps and flame-spreader crowns are extractable to
facilitate cleaning. Wash them in hot water with non-
abrasive detergent, taking care to remove any
incrustations, and wait until they are perfectly dry.
Replace the flame-spreader crowns, checking that they
are positioned in their housing with their respective caps,
taking care that flame-spreader holes A correspond to
the spark plugs and the thermocouples.
10.2.3 Ignition plugs and thermocouples
To work well, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must
always be very clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a wet rag if necessary. Any dry residue should be
removed with a toothpick or a needle.
10.3 Cleaning the inside of the oven
For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take
out all removable parts.
Clean the oven grill and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive
detergent. Rinse and dry.
10.3.1 Self-cleaning liners
The main oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled
liners.
These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over
time.
10.3.2 Using the self-cleaning liners
Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from
accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at
temperatures of not less than 200°C for a time varying from 30 to 60
minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues
present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a
damp sponge
