Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out
any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

• Slight differences in colour on the front of the oven are due to the different
materials used, i.e. glass, plastic or metal.
• Any shady areas resembling grooves on the oven door glass are caused
by reflections from the oven light.
• The enamel is branded at very high temperatures. This process may cause
colour variations. This is normal and will not affect appliance operation in
any way. The thin edges of the sheet metal cannot be entirely enamelled
and may therefore appear to be unfinished. This will not affect the rust
protection.
• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals
may be cleaned using a sponge that 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.
• All accessories - with the exception of the sliding racks - can be washed
like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
• We recommend that detergents are not sprayed directly onto the control
panel, but that a sponge is used instead.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

Cleaning the oven door

! The door of LED INSIDE models cannot be removed.
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.
For more thorough cleaning purposes, the oven door may be removed:
1. Open the oven door fully (see diagram).
2. Use a screwdriver to lift up and turn the small levers F located on the two
hinges (see diagram).

F
3. Grip the door on the two outer sides and
close it approximately half way. Pull the
door towards you, lifting it out of its slot (see
diagram). To replace the door, reverse this
sequence.
To remove oven door with soft closing hinges*:
1. Open the door completely.
2. Lift the pull-out hooks located on the two
hinges. If you cannot lift them manually, use
a tool as a lever.
3. Completely rotate downwards the pull-out
hooks.
4. Holding the door by its two outer sides,
slowly close it but not completely. Pull the
door to remove it from its seat (see figure).
To re-assemble the door follow the procedure
in reverse order.
5. Rotate the pull-out hooks upwards until they
touch the front of the oven.
6. Push the pull-out hooks downwards,
making sure they are steady and do not
rotate forward.
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.
