CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
Do not use steam cleaning
equipment.
Use protective gloves during all
operations.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
Respecting and conserving the environment
• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the "delay
cooking" option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.

The cover
when the burners are alight or when they are still hot.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If
the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest
Authorised After-sales Service Centre. We recommend
that the oven is not used until the seals have been
replaced.
*Only available in certain models
Carry out the required
operations when the oven is cold.
Disconnect the appliance from
the power supply.
.
If the cooker is fitted with
a glass cover, this cover
should be cleaned using
lukewarm water. Do not use
abrasive products.
It is possible to remove
the cover in order to make
cleaning the area behind
the hob easier. Open
the cover fully and pull it
upwards (see figure).
! Do not close the cover
Do not use wire wool, abrasive
scourers or abrasive/corrosive
cleaning agents, as these could
damage the surfaces of the
appliance.
Gas tap maintenance
Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult to
turn. If this occurs, the tap must be replaced.
! This procedure must be performed by a qualified
technician who has been authorised by the
manufacturer.
Do not use alcohol-based products such as denatured alcohol.
