How to Keep Your Oven in Shape
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, dis-
connect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
• Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
• 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.
Replacing the Oven Lamp
• 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

the mains power supply.
