Care and maintenance

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 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 can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.

!Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

Inspecting the seals

GB

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

To replace the oven light bulb:

1. Remove the

glass cover of the lamp-holder.

2. Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with a

similar one:

Wattage 25 W, cap E 14.

3. Replace the glass cover (see diagram).

Cleaning the oven door

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

Side and rear catalytic liners*

These are panels coated with a special enamel, which is able to absorb the fat released by food as it cooks. This enamel is quite strong, so that the various accessories (racks, dripping pans, etc.) can slide along them without damaging them. White marks may appear on the surfaces; these are not a cause for concern.

Nevertheless, the following should be avoided:

-scraping the enamel with sharp objects (a knife, for example);

-using detergents or abrasive materials.

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.

*Only available in certain models.
