Switching the appliance off

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

Cleaning the appliance

Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on

the appliance.

• 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 well and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
powders or corrosive substances.

• The hob grids, burner caps, flame spreader rings

and burners may be removed to make cleaning
easier; wash them in hot water and non-abrasive
detergent, making sure all burnt-on residue is
removed before drying them thoroughly.

• Clean the terminal part of the flame failure safety

devices* frequently.

• 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.

• Do not close the cover when the burners are alight

or when they are still hot.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If
the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest
Authorised 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.

Gas tap maintenance

Over time, the taps may
become jammed or difficult to
turn. If this occurs, the tap
must be replaced.

This procedure must be

performed by a qualified

technician authorised by the manufacturer.

Assistance

Never use the services of an unauthorised

technician.

Please have the following information to hand:

• The type of problem encountered.
• The appliance model (Mod.).
• The serial number (S/N).
The latter two pieces of information can be found on
the data plate located on the appliance.

Catalitic Cleaning*

In some models, the most exposed internal vertical
sides of the oven are coated with porous enamel,
which is called catalytic enamel. When heated, this
enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food.
This "oxidation" of the fat particles occurs when the
temperature of the sides exceeds 170°C. The porous
quality of the catalytic enamel increases the surface
area where the exchange vital to the oxidation of the
fats takes place.

If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after
the cooking programme has ended, leave the empty
oven on with the door shut, turning the temperature
adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the
oven like this for a period of time between 60 and 90
minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside.
The cleaning process for more stubborn food
residues may be quickened by using hot water and
a soft brush.

Care and maintenance

Only available in certain models.

! Do not use the oven lamp as/ for ambient
lighting.
