How to Keep Your Oven in Shape
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance,
disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
•
the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be
washed with lukewarm water without using any abra­
sive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains
are difficult to remove, use special products available
on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse
thoroughly and dry.
• the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned
immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot
water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and
the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive de­
tergents (for example cleaning powders, etc...) and
abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as
limescale-remover, etc...) as these could damage the
enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly
tough to remove, use a special product for oven clean­
ing, following the instructions provided on the packet.
• if you use your oven for an extended period of time,
condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.
• there is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening
which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the
condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary,
clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects
to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact
your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recom­
mend you avoid using the oven until it has been re­
paired.
• never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the
consequent accumulation of heat could compromise
the cooking and even damage the enamel.
• clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or
sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
How to remove the oven door
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven
door. Proceed as follows:
• open the door fully;
•
lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two
hinges;
• grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly
but not completely;
• pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat;
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures
backwards.
Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance
to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the
plug is accessible;
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following charac­
teristics:
- Voltage: 230/240 V

Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains power supply.
