Important: The appliance must be disconnected
from the electricity supply before any cleaning
procedures are performed.
To maximise the lifespan of the appliance, it should be
cleaned regularly and in accordance with the following
instructions:
Inner surface of the oven door:
Clean using a cloth which has been dampened with
hot water and non-abrasive liquid detergent, then rinse
and dry thoroughly.
Inside the oven:
• The inside of the oven is coated with a special, self-
cleaning microporous enamel which, at normal
cooking temperatures between 200 and 300°C,
oxidises and completely eliminates all traces of
grease or other substances which stick to the inner
walls of the appliance. Cleaning is therefore a much
shorter process: it is, in fact, enough simply to wipe
the surfaces of the oven with a damp cloth after
every use, in order to remove the thin layer of dust
which may be deposited during the cooking
process. This will help to preserve the self-cleaning
feature of the oven.
• In the event that liquids have spilled over during
cooking, or if the residue has not been completely
eliminated (for example, when cooking with the grill,
which does not reach a high enough temperature
for the self-cleaning enamel to be activated
completely), we recommend that the oven is left to
operate at its maximum temperature when empty
so that all traces of grease and other substances
can be eliminated.
• If, after numerous attempts, there are still obvious
greasy marks on the self-cleaning areas which are
most likely due to the non-observance of the
abovementioned maintenance guidelines, clean the
su rfaces thoroughly using hot water and a soft
cloth (do not use any type of detergent), then rinse
thoroughly and dry.
• Do not use sharp objects to remove any crusted-on
residue, as doing so may scratch the self-cleaning
surface.
• If the self-cleaning surfaces inside the oven are
damaged or rendered unusable due to
maintenance procedures being forgotten or
performed incorrectly over a number of years, it is
possible to request a self-cleaning panels kit,
which can be used to coat the inside of the oven.
To order this kit, please contact one of our
authorised Assistance Centres.
Outer areas of the oven:
• Only perform this cleaning procedure when the
oven is cold.
• Steel parts – especially areas with screen-printed
symbols - should not be cleaned using thinners or
abrasive detergents; you should preferably just use
a cloth which has been dampened with warm water
and washing up liquid.
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus.
It is therefore necessary to rinse the surface well and
dry it carefully after it has been cleaned.
Important: cleaning must be performed hori-
zontally, in the same direction as the satin-
finish effect of the steel.
• After cleaning, various treatments may be
performed in order to restore the shine of the
surfaces: only use products which are designed for
use with stainless steel.
Important: do not use abrasive powders, aggressive
detergents or acidic substances for cleaning purposes.
Removing/fitting the oven door
The oven door can be removed in order to make
cleaning the inside of the appliance easier. Proceed
as follows (fig. 6-7):
• Open the door fully and lift up the two small levers
“B” (fig. 6);
• Now, when the door is closed slightly, it can be lifted
out by removing hooks “A” as shown in figure 7.
FIGURE 6 FIGURE 7
To replace the door:
•
With the door in an upright position, insert the
2 hooks “A” into the vents;
•
Make sure that slot “D” is perfectly fastened
to the edge of the vent (move the door forwards and
backwards slightly);
•
Keep the door completely open, shift the 2
levers “B” downwards, then close the door.
