Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning

Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the
electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be
thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping 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 electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and they
should be lubricated with a little oil while they still warm;
· Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing 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;
· 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.
N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners 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
· Unplug the oven from the mains;
· 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
characteristics::
- Voltage 230V
- Wattage 25W
- Type E14
· Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the
mains.
Greasing the Taps
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.
Removing the lid
The cooker lid can be removed to facilitate cleaning. To remove
the lid, first open it completely and pull it upwards (see figure)
