Replacing the oven light (Fig.2)
(NOT COVERED BY THE APPLIANCE
WARRANTEE)
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity
supply.
Remove the protective glass light-cover by
twisting anticlockwise.
After replacing the bulb B, refit the protective
cover A.
NOTE: the glass cover may be tight and may
therefore require a tight grip to release.
Removing the oven door (fig.1)
To make it easier to clean the oven, the door may
be removed.
The hinges "A" are fitted with two mobile U-bolts "B"
which block the door when it is completely open
if they are hooked onto sections "C" of the hinges.
After this has been done, the door must be lifted up
and taken out. When carrying out this operation,
hold the sides of the oven door beside the hinges.
To refit the door first slide the hinges into their
grooves.
Lastly, before closing the door do not forget to detach
the two mobile U-bolts "B" which were used to hook
the two hinges.

Cleaning and maintenance
Important:
Before carrying out maintenance on the oven, it must always be switched off.
The stainless steel and enamelled parts will keep their finish if cleaned with water or
using specific products, drying them thoroughly.
Avoid using products that contain chlorine or diluted chlorine solutions, caustic
soda, abrasive detergents, hydrochloric acid, vinegar and other products that can
scratch. Stains left on the bottom of the oven (sauces, sugary substances, egg white
and fats) are caused by spatters or spillage of food. Spattering occurs during roasting
and is due to the temperature being too high whereas spilling is due to containers
being too small or the food increasing in volume during cooking.
These two problems can be solved by using high-sided containers or by using the dripping
pan supplied with the oven. When cleaning the lower part of the oven, you are advised
to remove any stains while the oven is still warm- the longer you wait, the more difficult
it will be remove them. Immediately after use while the oven is still warm but switched off,
you are also advised to place a cloth soaked in ammonia (a few drops are sufficient)
on the bottom of the oven. Close the oven door, wait approximately 10 minutes and then
dry thoroughly.
Warning: use only non caustic oven cleaners
