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 - with the exception of the sliding racks - can be washed like everyday crockery,

and are even dishwasher safe.

Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

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.Lift up and turn the small levers located on the two hinges (see diagram).

3.Grip the door on the two external 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.

Inspecting the seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After-sales 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.Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar one: Wattage 25 W, cap E 14.

3.Replace the glass cover (see diagram).
