Cleaning the oven door, Inspecting the seals

•All accessories 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

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).

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).

!Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting.

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 external sides and close it approximately

	half way. Unlock the door by
	pressing on the clamps F, then
F	pull the door towards you lifting it
F	out of its seat (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 Service Centre (see Assistance). We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.
