Always wipe spills up when they occur. Do not leave spills to
dry onto the surface of the hob.
IMPORTANT – DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ON OR COVER THE
BASE OF THE OVEN AS THIS IMPEADS THE TRANSFER OF
HEAT FROM THE BOTTOM ELEMENT TO THE OVEN CAVITY
AND CAN CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE OVEN
ENAMEL LINING. DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES, ALLOW
HOTPLATE TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING
ILVE’s advanced cooking system means lower and more
accurate cooking temperatures and a reduction in cooking
time and food splattering. These advances in oven design and
technology means that ILVE ovens require less cleaning.
The introduction of the catalytic oven cleaning system and
removable racks and door glass means that the task of
cleaning your oven has become simplified. It is important to
note that regular cleaning will keep your oven looking great
and operating better for an extended time.
To maintain your oven you must do a self clean on a regular
basis, approximately every two to three months of normal
usage.
NOTE: Fat build up is easily distinguished by a slight
discolouration of the liners
1. Before you start
As a safety precaution always
switch off the power to the oven
before commencing any cleaning
or maintenance. never use abrasive
scourers or spray any chemical
oven cleaners or caustic solution on
the catalytic oven liners as this may
cause damage, wash instead with
soapy water.
When removing oven shelves you
must slide shelf out to the stopper
using both hands before lifting front
of the shelf up and sliding out. To
replace shelves do the reverse of
the above. It is advised that you
wear oven mitts or heat protective
gloves if oven has been turned on.
2. Catalytic self cleaning liners
Every ILVE oven (with the exception
of the 600LM and Built-in Gas Oven
models) has catalytic liners. These
have been pre-installed in your ILVE
oven to make your life easier. As
you cook the liners will absorb any
fat that splatters keeping your oven
cleaner. There can be four liners in
your oven; one on either side, one
on the rear and one on the roof of
your oven. Only the side liners are
removable.
To maintain your oven you
must regularly do a self clean
to remove the fat absorbed in the
liners during the cooking process.
This may be weekly, monthly or
yearly depending on oven usage.
Fat build up is easily distinguishable
by a slight discolouration of the
liners.
To do a self clean; you must at the
end of the cooking process turn the
oven thermostat to 200 °C on fan
forced heating system for 20 – 30
minutes. Always ensure that you
remove excess trays (be aware as
oven racks & trays will be hot), side
racks and the fat filter as any fat
will burn on these items making
cleaning extremely difficult.
