Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
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.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery (even in your dishwasher).
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. Then
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).
