Regular cleaning and correct use of built-in ovens, hobs and cooker hoods helps preserve performance.
Signs that maintenance is needed
- Reduced cooker-hood extraction
- Odour or uneven oven temperature
- Delayed hob ignition
- Heavy grease accumulation in filters
- Stiff controls or switches
Safe maintenance steps
Follow manufacturer instructions and isolate the appliance:
- Clean or replace grease filters at the specified interval.
- Use suitable non-abrasive cleaning products.
- Do not block air outlets or ventilation gaps.
- Prevent liquids entering electrical sections.
- Record any change in gas-flame colour.
Situations requiring professional inspection
If there is an electrical or gas odour, ignition fault, uneven heating or motor noise, the appliance requires technical inspection.
Safety note
Do not dismantle the housing because of gas connections, high voltage and sharp edges.
