Care and maintenance
Switching the appliance off
GB
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as
stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or
sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the
surface beyond repair.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the
appliance.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• 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 the hob burners can 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.
• For hobs with electronic ignition, the terminal part of
the electronic lighting devices should be cleaned
frequently and the gas outlet holes should be checked
for blockages.
• 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.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus. After
cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any remaining
drops of water should also be dried.

when the burners are alight or when they are still hot.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven periodically. 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 taps 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. 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 the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting.
If the cooker is fitted with
a glass cover, this cover
should be cleaned using
lukewarm water. Do not use
abrasive products.
It is possible to remove
the cover in order to make
cleaning the area behind
the hob easier. Open
the cover fully and pull it
upwards (see figure).
! Do not close the cover
