Instructions for the user

For easier cleaning, the storage drawer underneath the oven can be completely removed.

Pull it right out and raise the front (as for an ordinary drawer).

On some models, once the drawer has been pulled completely out the two tabs have to be pushed up as shown in the diagram, after which the drawer can be removed from the appliance.

10.3.1Self-cleaning liners (main oven)

The main oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners. These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over time.

10.3.2Using the self-cleaning liners

Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at temperatures of not less than 200°C for a time varying from 30 to 60 minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a damp sponge

10.3.3Looking after the self-cleaning liners

The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners.
