Care and Cleaning
Befor carrying out any cleaning and maintenance to your
appliance you must disconnect it from the power supply.
Inside the oven
We recommend you clean your oven each time you use it,
especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable to
prevent food residue from building up during cooking: the
residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is used
and would char and release smoke and unpleasant
odours.
Oven exterior
Clean the enamelled or stainless steel exterior surfaces of
your oven using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making
sure you rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using abra-
sive or corrosive products which could damage them.
Stainless steel
Rinse stainless steel parts and dry them thoroughly using
a soft cloth. Use a specific non-abrasive product to remove
tougher stains,
DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the
oven.
To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you may
be tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We strongly
advise against this. The aluminium foil sheet in direct
contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and
damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibly.
Cleaning the accessories
The accessories (dripping pan, grid) should be cleaned in
the sink using a damp sponge and ordinary detergent or
even in your dishwasher.
Rubber Seal
There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which
guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of
this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it using
warm water and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT use abrasive products or objects to do so. Should
the seal become damaged, please contact Hotpoint Service
(see KEY CONTACTS, back page). We recommend you
avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
Replacing the Oven Lamp
•
Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance
to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the
plug is accessible.
• Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
• Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following charac-
teristics:

• Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the power supply.
Disassembling the oven door
The oven door can easily be removed to clean the space
between the bottom of the door and the front of the oven. To
disassemble the door, proceed as follows:

- lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges,
