Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any
work on it.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.
Cleaning the oven
• 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.
• 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.
• Dirt and grease should be removed from the control panel using a non-
abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged,
please contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recommend that
the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.
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. Remove 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 abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray
cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products,
powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the
surface beyond repair.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and
dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning
product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper (this is not supplied
with the appliance). Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for
the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can
obtain excellent results by using a rustproof steel wire sponge -
specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally been melted on the hob,
remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective
maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the
surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance should be carried out
while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it
thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking
processes.

Cleaning stainless steel
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface
for a long time, or by aggressive detergents that contain phosphorus. We
recommend that the steel surfaces are rinsed well then dried thoroughly.

Catalitic Cleaning*
In some models, the most exposed internal vertical sides of the oven
are coated with porous enamel, which is called catalytic enamel.
When heated, this enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food.
This "oxidation" of the fat particles occurs when the temperature of
the sides exceeds 170°C. The porous quality of the catalytic enamel
increases the surface area where the exchange vital to the oxidation
of the fats takes place.
If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after the cooking
programme has ended, leave the empty oven on with the door shut,
turning the temperature adjustment knob to its maximum setting.
Leave the oven like this for a period of time between 60 and 90
minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside. The cleaning
process for more stubborn food residues may be quickened by using
hot water and a soft brush.
* Only available in certain models.
