Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the
electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must
be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
• The enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;
• the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
• the flame spreaders should be washed frequently with
hot water and detergent taking care to eliminate any
scale.
• in cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the termi-
nal part of the electronic instant lighting devices should
be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes of the
flame spreaders should be checked to make sure they
are free of any obstructions;
• the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and
they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still
warm;
• stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (con-
taining phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended to dry any water drops;
• in models with glass covers, the covers are cleaned
with hot water and use of rough cloths or abrasives is
to be avoided.
N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners and
electric plates are still warm. Remove any liquid from the
lid before opening it.
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose
and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended
changing it every year.
Replacing the oven lamp
• Unplug the oven from the mains;
• Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
• Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following characte-
ristics:
- Voltage 230V
- Wattage 15W
- Type E14
• Replace the glass over and connect the oven to the
mains.
Pratical advice for energy efficiency
Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and al-
ways try to fill it. Open the oven door as little as possible
because heat is lost every time it is opened. To save
a substantial amount of energy, simply switch off the
oven 5 to 10 minutes before the end of your planned
cooking time and use the heat the oven continues to
generate.
• Automatic programmes are based on standard food
product.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door energy
losses .
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the "delay
cooking" option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
