Special Maintenance
Occasionally, it is necessary to maintain or replace some 
parts that are subject to wear and tear. Specific instructions 
are given below for each type of maintenance.
Before carrying out maintenance, switch off 
the power supply to the cooker and close the 
gas taps.
Removing the oven door
The oven door can be removed completely to make 
cleaning the oven easier. Though this is possible, the 
door is heavy, therefore this job should only be carried out 
by someone with the strength to lift and carry the door. It 
also requires a little expertise to refit it. If you are not
you will be able to do this, we recommend that you clean
the oven doors without removing them. In certain 
circumstances, you contact the nearest authorized service 
centre (see "Repairs - After Sales Service" on page 27).
To remove the door, proceed as follows:
• Open the oven door fully and release the safety catches 
on the hinges (one for each hinge) by lifting them (A)
(see diagram below) back towards the oven door.
• Partially close the door until there is no more load
tension on the springs (the door will form an angle of 
about 30°).
• Using both hands, grip the oven door on each side
and close the door whilst simultaneously lifting it
upwards.
• Pull the lower part of the door towards you to release
the hinges (B, see diagram below) from their seats.
If you need to clean between the panes of glass, turn the
door upside down (see diagram below), slide a soft bottle
brush into the space between the glass panes and brush
gently.
To refit the oven door, carry out the above
instructions the reverse. When the hinges
(
B) are back in their seats, lower the oven
door fully down and lower the safety catches 
on each hinge securely back in place (A)
CAUTION: After refitting the door, always 
be sure to refit the hinge safety catches.
Removing the shelf supports
The shelf supports can easily be removed for cleaning 
and to help clean the oven walls. The shelf supports are 
hooked to the oven walls in the three points indicated by 
the arrows in the figure (detail 1).
• Press the top of the shelf support downwards as shown in
(picture 2) to release the shelf support from the upper pin.
• Lift the shelf support upwards and remove.
To refit the shelf support, carry out the instructions in the 
reverse order. Set the lower part of the shelf support in the 
respective pins and press the upper part towards the oven 
wall until it hooks into the pin.
Removal and cleaning the oven fan
The fan in main oven may occasionally need cleaning.
To remove the cover panel and fan proceed as follows
(see diagram below):
Make sure the power supply to the appliance 
is switched off.
• Remove all the oven accessories (shelf supports, shelves
and grill pan).
• Loosen and remove the four screws (
A) from the fan
cover panel.
• Remove the fan cover panel (B)
• Use a coin to loosen the fixing nut (
C) of the fan (this
threading is in reverse, to loosen turn clockwise).
• Remove fan (
D) and wash it using warm water and
household detergent. Never use abrasive or 
corrosive detergents, powdered products, or 
metal scrubbers. Rinse the fan and dry thoroughly.
Refit the fan and cover panel by reversing the removal 
instructions.
