Maintenance and care
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 which 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 burners may 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.
• Clean the terminal part of the flame failure safety devices* frequently.
• 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.
• Only clean the appliance when the oven is cold.
• The steel parts and especially the areas with the screen-printed symbols
should not be cleaned with solvents or abrasive detergents. It is advisable
to use only a damp cloth with lukewarm water and washing up liquid.
Stainless steel may remain stained if in long-term contact with very
calcareous water or aggressive detergents (containing phosphorus).
It is therefore always necessary to rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly
after cleaning.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven regularly. 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 tap 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. Unscrew 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.
! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting.
