GB
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts
and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a
sponge which has been soaked in lukewarm water
and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the
removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse well
and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or
corrosive substances.
• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned
after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot
water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a
soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
• 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.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
• It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp
sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub with a special
glass ceramic cleaning product, rinse and dry.
• food residue and dirt can be removed using a
special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do
not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid
incrustations. For excellent results, use a special
stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass
cleaning soaked in soapy water.
• If plastic or sugary substances are accidentally
melted on the hob, remove them immediately with
the scraper, while the surface is still hot.

• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a
special maintenance and protection product: the
invisible film left by this product protects the surface
from drips during cooking. This should be done
while the appliance is warm or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance with clean
water and dry the hob thoroughly: residues can
become encrusted during cooking.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If
the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest
Authorised After-sales Service Centre.
We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals
have been replaced.
