Maintenance and care

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 - with the exception of the sliding
racks - can be washed like everyday crockery.
! 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.
1. Open the oven door fully ( see diagram ).
2. Lift up and turn the small levers located on the
two hinges ( see diagram ).
3. Grip the door on the two
external sides and close it
approximately half way.
Pull the door towards you lifting
it out of its seat (see diagram).
To replace the door, reverse
this sequence.
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 ).
