Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

GB

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

Cleaning the appliance

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

•The stainless-steel or enamel-coated external parts as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. If these stains are difficult to remove, use only specialised products. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.

•Ideally, the inside of the oven should be cleaned after each use, when it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

•The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).

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.

To clean more thoroughly, you can remove the oven door.

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. Then pull the door towards you lifting it out of its seat (see diagram).

To replace the door, reverse this sequence.

Inspecting the seals

Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre (see Assistance). We recommend not using the oven 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).
