Routine maintenance and oven cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the electricity. To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
∙the enamelled parts and the
∙the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often while it is still warm using warm water and detergent, followed by careful rinsing and drying;
∙the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still warm;
∙the stainless steel parts should be rinsed with water and dried with a soft, clean cloth or chamois. In case of difficult spots, use normal, non abrasive detergents available on the market or else a little warm vinegar;
∙in models with glass covers, the covers are cleaned with hot water, and use of rough cloths or abrasives is to be avoided.
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended changing it every year.
Replacing the oven light bulb
∙Either pull out the plug (if it is accessible) or disconnect the oven from the mains by turning off the multipole switch used for connecting the oven to the electricity source;
∙Remove the glass cover of the lamp holder;
∙Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a high tempera- ture resistant bulb (300°C) with the following characteristics:
-Voltage 230V
-Wattage 25W
-Type E14
∙Replace the glass cover and reconnect the power supply to the oven.
Greasing the taps
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to turn. If so, they must be cleaned internally and the grease replaced.
N.B: This operation must be carried by a technician authorised by the manufacturer.
