CLEANING AND CARE
Important: The appliance should be disconnected from
the mains supply before starting cleaning operations.
To ensure a long life cycle for the appliance, it is essential to
carry out a thorough general clean frequently, while observing
the following instructions:
Inside the oven door:
Clean the surface with a cloth moistened with hot water and
non abrasive liquid detergent, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Inside the oven:(only on certain models)
• The inside of your oven is coated with a special self-cleaning
microporous enamel glaze which, at a normal cooking
temperature of between 200 and 300°C, oxidises and
completely eliminates all grease spots or other substances
that inevitably attack the inner walls of the oven. This way,
cleaning is kept right down to a minimum: as a matter of
fact, you just need to rub the surfaces of the oven with a
wet cloth regularly, after cooking, to remove the thin layer
of ash that may have been deposited during cooking, in
order to maintain the self-cleaning property of the oven
intact.
• After cooking where liquid has overflowed or when the dirt
has not been eliminated completely (for example when
grilling food, and the temperatures reached are not high
enough for the full self-cleaning action of the enamel to be
performed), we recommend you leave the oven on at
maximum temperature so that all grease residue and the
like are eliminated.
• If, after long-term use, you find evident grease stains
deposited on the self-cleaning oven walls, probably due to
your failing to follow the above maintenance advice, clean
the surfaces thoroughly with hot water and a soft cloth (do
not use any detergents), then rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Do not remove any dry caked-on grease using sharp
objects, as these could etch the self-cleaning coating.
• If the self-cleaning surfaces inside the oven are damaged
or worn, due to incorrect or poor maintenance or after many
years of use, you can request a kit of self-cleaning panels
to line the inside of the oven. To order these, just contact
an authorised Service Centre.
Oven exterior:
• Only clean the appliance when the oven is cold.
• The steel parts and especially the areas with the screen-
printed symbols should not be cleaned with solvents or
abrasive detergents. It is advisable to use only a damp
cloth with lukewarm water and washing up liquid.
Stainless steel may remain stained if in long-term contact
with very calcareous water or aggressive detergents
(containing phosphorus).
It is therefore always necessary to rinse and dry all surfaces
thoroughly after cleaning.
Important: cleaning operations must be made
horizontally, in the direction of the steel glazing.
• After cleaning, any treatments to polish the surfaces may
be performed: only use specific products for stainless steel.
Important: do not use abrasive powders, aggressive
detergents or acidic substances for cleaning.

Hob:
• The removable parts of the burners on the hob should be
washed frequently with warm water and soap, making sure
to remove any caked-on substances. Check that the gas
outlet slits are not clogged. Dry the burners carefully before
using them again.
• Clean the end part of the automatic glow plug ignitors of the
hob and gas oven frequently.
Disassembling/assembling the oven door
To make it easier to clean the inside of your oven, the oven
door can be removed, by proceeding as follows (fig. 2-3):
• Open the door completely and lift the 2 levers “B” (fig. 2);
• Now, shutting the door slightly, you can lift it out by pulling
out the hooks “A” as shown in figure 3.
To reassemble the door:
• With the door in a vertical position, insert the two hooks
“A” into the slots;
• Ensure that seat “D” is hooked perfectly onto the edge of
the slot (move the oven door backwards and forward
slightly);
• Keep the oven door open fully, unhook the 2 levers “B”
downwards and then shut the door again.
Greasing the taps
As time passes, a tap may lock or become difficult to turn. In
this case it will be necessary to clean inside and replace the
grease. This procedure must be performed by a technician
authorized by the manufacturer.
Changing the oven lightbulb
Make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the
electricity supply.
Unscrew the glass protective cover from inside the oven,
unscrew the lightbulb and replace it with an identical one
suitable for high temperatures (300°C) and with the following
characteristics:
-
Voltage 230 V
-
Wattage 15 W
-
Type E 14.
