Routine maintenance and cleaning of the oven
Disconnect the oven from the source of electricity before
performing any maintenance or cleaning. To ensure a
long life for your oven, clean it frequently and carefully,
keeping in mind that:
• Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
• the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels should
be washed with warm water without the addition of
abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could
damage the finish;
• 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;
• 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 to dry any water drops;
• avoid dirt and grease accumulating on the control panel
by cleaning it frequently. Use non-abrasive sponges or
soft cloths to avoid scratching enamelled or shiny steel
parts.
Cleaning the hob surface
Prior to cooking, the hob surface should always be clea-
ned using a damp cloth to remove any dust or stray food
particles. The hob surface should be regularly cleaned
with a lukewarm solution of water and a mild detergent.
Periodically it may be necessary to use a proprietary ce-
ramic hob cleaner. First remove all spilt food and fat with
a window scrape, preferably the razor blade type
supplied) or, failing that, the fixed blade razor edge type.
Then clean the hob while it is still warm to the touch with
a suitable cleaner and paper towel. Then rinse it and wipe
it dry with a clean cloth .If aluminium foil or plastic items
are accidentally allowed to melt on the hob surface they
should be immediately removed from the hot cooking area
with a scraper. This will avoid any possible damage to the
surface. This also applies to sugar or any food with a high
sugar content. Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers
of any type. Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and
stain removers should also not be used.
Replacing the oven light bulb
• Either pull out the plug (if it is accessible) or disconnect
the oven from the mains by turning off the multipole
switch used for connecting the oven to the electricity
source;

• Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a high temperature
resistant bulb (300°C) with the following characteristics:
- Voltage 230 V

• Replace the glass cover and reconnect the power
supply to the oven.
