Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out
any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals
may be cleaned using a sponge which has been soaked in lukewarm water
and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn
stains. After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
powders or corrosive substances.
• The hob grids, burner caps, flame spreader rings and burners may be
removed to make cleaning easier; wash them in hot water and non-
abrasive detergent, making sure all burnt-on residue is removed before
drying them thoroughly.
• Clean the terminal part of the flame failure safety devices* frequently.
• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is
still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with
a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
• Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive
cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the
surface and cause the glass to crack.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even
dishwasher safe.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.
Inspecting the seals
Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged,
please contact your nearest Service Centre (see Assistance). We recommend
that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.
Replacing the light bulb
! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting.
Gas tap maintenance
Over time, the valves may become jammed or difficult to turn. If this occurs,
the valve must be replaced.
! This procedure must be performed by a qualified technician who has been
authorised by the manufacturer.
To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Remove the glass cover of the
lamp-holder.
2. Remove the light bulb and replace
it with a similar one: Wattage 25 W,
cap E 14.
3. Replace the glass cover (see
diagram).
