Care and maintenance
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such
as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these
may scratch the surface beyond repair.
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob
using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent
kitchen roll.
• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external
parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using
a sponge that 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 hob grids, burner caps, flame spreader rings
and the hob burners can be removed
to make cleaning easier; wash them in hot water
and non-abrasive detergent, making sure all
burnt-on residue is removed before drying them
thoroughly.
• For hobs with electronic ignition, the terminal part
of the electronic lighting devices should be
cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes
should be checked for blockages.
• 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.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any
remaining drops of water should also be dried.
Do not close the cover when the burners are alight
or when they are still hot.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven periodically. 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.
Gas tap maintenance
Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult
to turn. If this occurs, the tap must be replaced.
This procedure must be performed by a
qualified technician who has been authorised by
the manufacturer.
Replacing the oven light bulb
1. After disconnecting the oven
from the electricity mains,
remove the glass lid covering
the lamp socket (see figure).
2. Remove the light bulb and
replace it with a similar one:
voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W,
cap E 14.
3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the
electricity supply.
