Care and maintenance

Switching the appliance off

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

Cleaning the oven

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

•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.

•The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge which 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.

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

•Dirt and grease should be removed from the control panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.

•Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive detergents that contain phosphorus.

We recommend that the steel surfaces are rinsed well then dried thoroughly.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After- sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.

Replacing the oven light bulb

	oven light bulb:

1. Remove the glass cover using a screwdriver.

2. Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with aGB similar one: Wattage 15 W, cap E 14.

Replace the glass cover, making sure the seal is positioned correctly (see diagram).

Cleaning the glass ceramic hob

!Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

•It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.

•If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.

•To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper (this is not supplied with the appliance). Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can obtain excellent results by using a rustproof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.

•If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally been melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.

•Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.

•Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.
