CARE AND CLEANING
Disassembling/assembling the oven door
To make it easier to clean the inside of your oven, the oven
door can be removed, by proceeding as follows (fig. 3-4):
• Open the door completely and raise the 2 levers "B" (fig.
3);
• Now, shutting the door slightly, you can lift it out by pulling
out the hooks "A" as shown in figure 4.
To reassemble the door:
• With the door in a vertical position, insert the two hooks
"A" into the slots;
• Ensure that seat "D" is hooked perfectly onto the edge of
the slot (move the oven door backwards and forward
slightly);
• Keep the oven door open fully, unhook the 2 levers "B"
downwards and then shut the door again.

Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on your
appliance, you must disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your appliance, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
The hob:
• The enamelled parts must be washed with warm water
without using any abrasive powders or corrosive sub-
stances which could cause damage.
• The removeable parts of the burners should be washed
with warm soapy water, making sure to remove caked
on substances.
• The end of the electronic ignition device must be cleaned
carefully and frequently, making sure that the gas holes
are not clogged.
• Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, rinse with water and dry thoroughly. Use a
specific non-abrasive product to remove tougher stains.
It is also recommended that any spills be cleared
immediately.
Inside the oven
We recommend you clean your oven each time you use
it, especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable
to prevent food residue from building up during cooking:
the residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is
used and would char and release smoke and unpleasant
odours.
Oven exterior
Clean the stainless steel exterior surfaces of your oven
using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making sure you
rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using abrasive or
corrosive products which could damage them.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the
oven.
To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you may
be tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We strongly
advise against this. The aluminium foil sheet in direct
contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and
damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibly.
Oven rubber Seal
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 using
warm water and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT use abrasive products or objects to do so.
Should the seal become damaged, please contact Hotpoint
Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page). We
recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been
repaired.
Replacing the Oven Lamp
• Disconnect from the mains electricity supply and ensure
the appliance is cool.
• 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
characteristics:
- Voltage: 230/240 V
- Power: 15W
- Type E14
• Replace the glass cover and
reconnect to the mains elec-
tricity supply.
