Routine Maintenance And Cleaning - Indesit K 640 G/I Installation And Use Manual

Before each operation, disconnect the appliance from
the electrical power supply. To ensure that the appli-
ance lasts a long time, it must be thoroughly cleaned fre-
quently, keeping in mind that:
•
The enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels
should be 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
buildup; On cookers equipped with automatic lighting,
the terminal part of the electronic instant lighting de-
vices should be cleaned frequently (see the box on
the last page of the booklet) and the gas outlet holes
on the flame spreaders should be checked to make
sure they are free of any obstructions;
• 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 burners
are still warm.
Important: Periodically check the wear of the gas hose
and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommend
changing it every year.

Routine Maintenance and Cleaning

Replacing the Oven Lamp
• Disconnect the cooker from the power supply by means
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the cooker to
the electrical mains; or disconnect the plug if it is ac-
cessible.
• Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder.
• Remove the lamp and replace it with a lamp resistant
to high temperatures (300°C) with the following speci-
fications:
- Voltage: 230V
- Wattage: 25W
- Socket: E14
• Replace the glass cover and connect the oven to the
mains.
Greasing the Taps
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to
turn. If so, they must be cleaned internally and the grease
replaced.

cian authorised by the manufacturer.
