Care and maintenance

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

• The stainless-steel or enamel-coated external parts
as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a
sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water
and neutral soap. If these stains are difficult to
remove, use only specialised products. After
cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use
abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
• Ideally, the inside of the oven should be cleaned
after each use, when it is still lukewarm. Use hot
water and detergent, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive products.
• All accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
• Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.

Cleaning the oven door

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could
scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack. To
clean more thoroughly, you can remove the oven door.
• Open the door fully and lift up the two small levers
"B";
• Now, when the door is closed slightly, it can be
lifted out by removing hooks "A" as shown in
figure.
To replace the door:
• With the door in an upright position, insert the 2
hooks "A" into the vents;
• Make sure that slot "D" is perfectly fastened to
the edge of the vent (move the door forwards and
backwards slightly);
• Keep the door completely open, shift the 2 levers
"B" downwards, then close the door.
Inspecting the seals
Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If
the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest
After-sales Service Centre (see Assistance). We
recommend not using the oven until the seals have
been replaced.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder.
2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar
one: Wattage 25 W, cap E 14.
3. Replace the glass cover (see diagram).
