7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NEVER USE A STEAM JET TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.

Before carrying out any maintenance, switch off the power supply to the machine.

7.1 Cleaning stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first.

7.1.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or leather.

7.1.2 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.

Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or leather.

Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

7.2 Cleaning of the oven (without self-cleaning panels)

For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take out all removable parts.

Diagram illustrating the steps of cleaning a kitchen oven, showing hand cleaning and interior cleaning with labeled parts.

• Clean the oven grill and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.
• The oven should be operated at the maximum temperature for about 15/20 minutes after using specific products, to eliminate the residues deposited inside the oven.
  • For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see P. 7.4)

7.3 Self-cleaning liners (only on some models)

The oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners.

These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over time.

7.3.1 Using the self-cleaning liners

Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at temperatures of not less than 200^ C for a time varying from 30 to 60 minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a damp sponge

7.3.2 Looking after the self-cleaning liners

The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners.

7.3.3 Assembling the self-cleaning liners

1. Remove all accessories from the oven;
2. Remove the side supports (fig.1);
3. Extract the side liners "F" and "G"(fig. 2);
4. Remove the back panel "A" after undoing the threaded ring-nut "C" (fig. 2).
5. Reassemble the panels, restoring them to their original position. Incorrect installation of the rear panel can lead to uneven cooking.

7.4 Removing the door

7.4.1 Removing doors with mobile

With the door completely open, lift the levers A of the two hinges until they touch the hinges B and take hold of the two sides of the door with both hands close to the hinges themselves. Raise the door to an angle of about 45^ and remove it. If the hinges have not locked, repeat the operation, raising the levers A and keeping the door slightly raised. To reassemble, fit the hinges B into their grooves, then lower the door into place, ensuring that it remains fitted into the grooves C, then lower the levers A.

A B C 45°

7.4.2 Removing doors with pins

Open the door completely and insert the pins (supplied) into the holes from the inside. Close the door to an angle of about 45^ and lift it off.

To reassemble, fit the hinges into their grooves, then lower the door into place and extract the pins.

7.5 Removing the door glazing

The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. For easier cleaning, the door glazing can be fully removed by proceeding as described below. After blocking the door in position as described in point "7.4 Removing the door", remove the inner glass using leverage as shown in figure 1, and release the 4 pins which fix the glass to the door. If your oven also has the middle glass (figure 2) this can simply be lifted out. After cleaning, first fit the middle glass (if featured on your oven) and then replace the inner glass, using the oven door supports as a fulcrum as shown in figure 3 (see detail A in figure 3). Once the glass has been fitted on the door, apply a little pressure against the 4 fixing pins. If the door should close during these operations, simply relock one of the hinges as described in point "7.4 Removing the door". The panes of glass can now be washed separately.

Use absorbent kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and ordinary detergent.

Warning: before removing the panes of glass, make sure that the door has been locked in open position as described in points "7.4 Removing the door". This operation might have to be repeated during the removal process if the door is accidentally freed.

To replace the panes of glass in the oven door, follow the instructions provided in reverse order.

WARNING. Never use the oven without the glass fitted: the outside surface of the door overheads

8. ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE

The oven may require additional maintenance or replacement of parts subject to wear such as seals, bulbs, and so on. The following instructions describe how to carry out these minor maintenance operations.
