Routine Maintenance and Cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from
the electrical supply.
To ensure that the appliance lasts
a long time, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keep-
ing in mind that:
·
Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
•
The enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;
•
The inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm, using warm water and detergent
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
•
The flame spreaders should be washed frequently with
hot water and detergent, taking care to eliminate any
scale;
•
In cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the termi-
nal part of the electronic instant lighting devices should
be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes on the
flame spreaders should be checked to make sure they
are free of any obstructions;
•
the electric hotplates should be cleaned with a damp
cloth and lubricated with a little oil while still warm;
•
Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (con-
taining phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended that drops of water be dried;
•
On models with glass covers, the covers should be
cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or
abrasives is to be avoided.
N.B.: Avoid closing the cover while the gas burn-
ers and electric plates are still warm. Remove any
liquid from the lid before opening it.
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose
and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended
changing it every year.
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 disconnect the plug if it 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:
- Voltage 230V
- Wattage 25W
- Type E14
•
Replace the glass cover and connect the oven to the
mains.
Gas tap maintenance
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to
turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.
N.B.: This operation must be performed by a technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
