10. Special maintenance
Periodically, it is necessary to maintain or replace some parts that are subject to wear and tear.
Specific instructions are given below for each type of maintenance.
Before carrying out maintenance, switch off the power supply to the appliance and close the
gas tap.
10.1 Removing the oven door
The oven door can be completely removed to enable more thorough cleaning. Though this
operation is possible, it should not be performed by everyone, as it requires the strength to hold up
the door and a minimum of expertise to re-fit it. If you are not sure of being able to do this, we
recommend that you clean the door without taking it off or, in special cases, that you contact the
nearest authorised service centre.
To remove the door, proceed as follows:
•
Open the oven door and release the safety catches of the hinges by turning the respective pins
A
(one for each hinge) backward.
•
Partially close the door until there is no more load tension on the springs (the door will form an
angle of about 30°).
•
Using both hands, accompany the movement of the door towards closure and simultaneously
lift it upward.
•
Turn the lower part of the door towards the outside to free the hinges
B
from their seats.
If you need to remove any dry residues or dust deposited on the inner part of the windows, turn the
door upside down as shown in the figure, slide a soft bottle brush into the spaces between the
glass plates and brush gently.
To re-fit the door, carry out the instructions given above in the inverse direction. When the hinges
B
are back in their seats, open the door all the way and re-fit the safety catches of the hinges,
lowering the respective pins
A
(one for each hinge).
CAUTION:
After re-fitting the door,
always
be sure to re-fit the hinge safety
catches.
