Routine Maintenance And Cleaning - Indesit K6G11S/I Installation And Use Manual

Before each operation, disconnect the appliance from
the electrical power supply. To ensure that the appliance
lasts a long time, 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 should
be washed with warm water, without using any abra-
sive 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 flame spreaders should be washed frequently with
hot water and detergent, taking care to eliminate any
buildup;
•
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 that drops of water be dried.
•
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.
•
On models with glass covers, the covers should be
cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or
abrasives is to be avoided.
N.B.: Avoid closing the cover while the gas burners
and electric plates 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 recommend
changing it every year.

Routine Maintenance and Cleaning

Replacing the Oven Lamp
•
Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance
to the electrical mains; or disconnect the plug if it is
accessible.
•
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder.
•
Remove the lamp and replace it with a lamp resistant
to high temperatures (300°C) with the following specifi-
cations:
- Voltage: 230V
- Wattage: 25W
- Socket: E14
•
Replace the glass cover and connect the oven to the
mains.
Gas tap maintenance
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.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed of
in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise
the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain
and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on
the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you
dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
