NOTE: it is normal to record different temperatures from those indicated on the panel thermometer, when you measure
the temperature in the middle of the oven using a different thermometer.
The temperature indicated by the thermometer is the mean temperature inside the oven and does not indicate the
temperature of any single point.
USING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
On models which have this device, the self-cleaning oven differs from normal ovens because the inner surfaces are
coated with a special micro-porous enamel that absorbs and eliminates grease residues during cooking. If liquid grease
is released, self-cleaning is not sufficient, so wipe the grease stains with a damp sponge and then heat the oven to the
maximum temperature, wait for it to cool down and wipe again with a damp sponge.
ABNORMAL OPERATION
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:
• Yellow tipping of the burner flame. • Burners failing to remain alight.
• Sooting up of cooking utensils.
• Burners extinguished by cupboard doors.
• Burners not igniting properly. • Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.
In case the appliance fails to operate correctly, contact
Bertazzoni Service Center .
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Before any cleaning, unplug the appliance and turn off the gas tap.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance
Cleaning the hob:
Clean the burner heads, enamelled steel pan supports, enamelled caps and flame spreaders regularly using warm soapy
water. Rinse and dry well.
Use a cloth to wipe away any liquids spilt from pans.
If the gas tap does not open or close easily, do not force it, but seek technical assistance immediately.
Cleaning enamelled parts:
Clean enamelled parts frequently with soapy water, to keep their characteristics unaltered. Never use abrasive powders.
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (vinegar, lemon juice, salt, tomato juice, etc.) on enamelled parts, and clean the
parts when still warm.
Cleaning stainless steel parts:
Clean with soapy water then dry with a soft cloth. Use special stainless steel cleaning products regularly to maintain the
shine. Never use abrasive powders.
Cleaning the flame spreaders:
As the flame spreaders rest on the hob surface, to clean them, remove and wash with soapy water. Dry well and make
sure the holes are not obstructed, before putting them back in position.
Cleaning the oven glass panel:
The oven glass panel can be removed. After opening the doors and blocking the hinges (figure 31) remove the glass
panel (figure 32) and clean. Clean the panel when the oven is cold, using a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
Put the glass panel back, making sure the smooth part is on the outside and the printed part inside the oven door. Then
release the hinges.
Note: do not release the hinges if the glass panel is not fitted on the door.

Cleaning inside the oven:
To make heavy-duty cleaning easier, the two oven doors can be removed as follows. After opening the door and blocking
the hinges (figure 31), put the door in a semi-open position and pull towards yourselves until it is released. To
reassemble, proceed as above in reverse. The side racks can also be removed, by removing the nuts securing them to
the oven.
Cast iron or aluminium strip racks:
Soft aluminium-bottomed pans are not recommended, to prevent leaving permanent marks on the rack surface which
cannot be removed with normal washing.
