Switching the appliance off

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

Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the

appliance.

Cleaning the oven

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts

and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge
that 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.

•

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 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.

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

1. After disconnecting the oven from the
electricity mains, remove the glass lid
covering the lamp socket (

see figure).

2. Remove the light bulb and replace
it with a similar one: voltage 230 V,
wattage 25 W, cap E 14.
3. Replace the lid and reconnect the
oven to the electricity supply.

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.

Cleaning stainless steel

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.
