[. . . ] We recommend you read though this booklet for the best performance and to extend the life of your appliance. This appliance has been designed for private, nonprofessional domestic use in the home. Read this instruction booklet carefully, as it provides important advice regarding safe installation, use and maintenance. Keep this booklet in a safe place for future reference. [. . . ] This way, cleaning is kept right down to a minimum: as a matter of fact, you just need to rub the surfaces of the oven with a wet cloth regularly, after cooking, to remove the thin layer of ash that may have been deposited during cooking, in order to maintain the self-cleaning property of the oven intact. € After cooking where liquid has overflowed or when the dirt has not been eliminated completely (for example when grilling food, and the temperatures reached are not high enough for the full self-cleaning action of the enamel to be performed), we recommend you leave the oven on at maximum temperature so that all grease residue and the like are eliminated. € If, after long-term use, you find evident grease stains deposited on the self-cleaning oven walls, probably due to your failing to follow the above maintenance advice, clean the surfaces thoroughly with hot water and a soft cloth (do not use any detergents), then rinse and dry thoroughly. € Do not remove any dry caked-on grease using sharp objects, as these could etch the self-cleaning coating. € If the self-cleaning surfaces inside the oven are damaged or worn, due to incorrect or poor maintenance or after many years of use, you can request a kit of self-cleaning panels to line the inside of the oven. to order these , just contact an authorised Service Centre. Oven exterior: • Only clean the appliance when the oven is cold. € The steel parts and especially the areas with the screenprinted symbols should not be cleaned with solvents or abrasive detergents. It is advisable to use only a damp cloth with lukewarm water and washing up liquid. Stainless steel may remain stained if in long-term contact with very calcareous water or aggressive detergents (containing phosphorus). It is therefore always necessary to rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly after cleaning. Important: cleaning operations must be made horizontally, in the direction of the steel glazing. € After cleaning, any treatments to polish the surfaces may be performed: only use specific products for stainless steel. Important: do not use abrasive powders, aggressive detergents or acidic substances for cleaning. 6 Hob: • The removable parts of the burners on the hob should be washed frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to remove any caked-on substances. Check that the gas outlet slits are not clogged. Dry the burners carefully before using them again. € Clean the end part of the automatic glow plug ignitors of the hob and gas oven frequently. 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. 6-7): • Open the door completely and lift the 2 levers “B” (fig. 6); • Now, shutting the door slightly, you can lift it out by pulling out the hooks “A” as shown in figure 7. 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. [. . . ] all appliances should be connected seperately. Do not use reducers, adapters or shunts as they could cause heating or burning. Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that: • the limiter valve and the domestic system can withstand the load from the appliance (see rating plate); • the supply system is efficiently earthed according to standards and laws in force; • the socket or omnipolar circuit-breaker are easily accessible when the appliance is installed. fAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-PREVENTION REGULATIONS RELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER OF ALL LIABILITY.
