Care and maintenance GB Switching the appliance off Inspecting the oven seals Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. 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. Cleaning the appliance ! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance. • 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 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. Replacing the oven light bulb 1. After disconnecting the oven from the electricity mains, remove the glass lid covering the lamp socket (see fi gure). 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. Gas tap maintenance Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult to turn. If this happens, the tap must be replaced. ! This procedure must be performed by a qualified technician authorised by the manufacturer. Assistance ! Never use the services of an unauthorised technician.
