Care and maintenance
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the oven
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
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 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 and dry thoroughly. Do not
use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
• 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.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
• Dirt and grease should be removed from the control
panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents that contain phosphorus. We
recommend that the steel surfaces are rinsed well
then dried thoroughly.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the
seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After-
sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not
used until the seals have been replaced.
Replacing the oven light bulb
1. After disconnecting the oven from the electricity mains,
remove the glass lid covering the
lamp socket (see figure).
2. Unscrew the light bulb and
replace it with a similar one:
voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap
E 14.
3. Replace the lid and reconnect
the oven to the electricity supply.
Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for
example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues
and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may
scratch the surface beyond repair.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass
ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry
thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper
(this is not supplied with the appliance). Remove spills
as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance
to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You
can obtain excellent results by using a rustproof steel
wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic
surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally been
melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the
scraper, while the surface is still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special
protective maintenance product: the invisible film left
by this product protects the surface from drips during
cooking. This maintenance should be carried out while
the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean
water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become
encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.
Assistance
! Never use the services of an unauthorised technician.
Please have the following information to hand:
• The type of problem encountered.
• The appliance model (Mod.).
• The serial number (S/N).
The latter two pieces of information can be found on
the data plate located on the appliance.
! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting.
