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

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 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.

All accessories can be washed like everyday

crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.

We recommend that detergents are not sprayed

directly onto the control panel, but that a sponge

is used instead.

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.

For more thorough cleaning purposes, the oven door

may be removed:

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.

Unlock the door by pressing

on the clamps F, then pull the

door towards you, lifting it out

of its slot (see diagram). To

replace the door, reverse this

sequence.

Inspecting the seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the

seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After-

sales Service Centre (see Assistance). We recommend

that the oven is not used until the seals have been

replaced.

Replacing the light bulb

To replace the

oven light bulb:

1. Remove the glass cover using a screwdriver.

2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar

one: Wattage 15 W, cap E 14.

Replace the glass cover, making sure the seal is

positioned correctly (see diagram).
