CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.
Wear protective gloves.
The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Clean surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty,
add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products
inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance,
clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.
INTERIOR SURFACES
After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably
while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by
food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result
of cooking foods with a high water content, leave the oven to cool
completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning.
ACCESSORIES
Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling
them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be
removed using a washing-up brush or a sponge.
CLEANING THE CATALYTIC PANELS (ONLY IN SOME MODELS)
This oven could be equipped with special catalytic liners that facilitate
cleaning of the cooking compartment thanks to their special self-
cleaning coating, which is highly porous and able to absorb grease and
grime. These panels are fitted to the shelf guides: When repositioning
and then refitting the shelf guides, make sure that the hooks at the top
are slotted into the appropriate holes in the panels.

To make best use of the catalytic panels' self-cleaning properties, we
recommend heating the oven to 200 °C for around one hour using the
"Convection Bake" function. The oven must be empty during this time.
Then leave the oven to cool down before removing any remaining food
residues using a non-abrasive sponge.
Please note: Using corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, stiff brushes,
pan scourers or oven sprays could damage the catalytic surface and
compromise its self-cleaning properties. Please contact our After-sales
Service if you require replacement panels.
REPLACING THE LAMP
Disconnect the oven from the power supply, unscrew the cover from
the light, replace the bulb and screw the cover back on the light.
Reconnect the oven to the power supply.
Please note: Only use 20-40 W/230 V type G9, T300 °C halogen bulbs. The
bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances
and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC
Regulation 244/2009). Light bulbs are available from our After-sales Service.
If using halogen bulbs, do not handle them with your bare hands as your
fingerprints could cause damage. Do not use the oven until the light cover
has been refitted.
REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR
To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in
the unlock position (1). Close the door as much as you can (2).
Take a firm hold of the door with both hands – do not hold it by the
handle. Simply remove the door (3) by continuing to close it while
pulling it upwards (a) at the same time until it is released from its
seating (b).

Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface.
Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the
hinges with their seating and securing the upper part onto its seating.
Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their
original position: make sure that you lower them down completely.
Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the
control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above.
CLICK & CLEAN - CLEANING THE GLASS
After removing the door and resting it on a soft surface with the
handle downwards, simultaneously press the two retaining clips (1) and
remove the upper edge of the door by pulling it towards you (2).

Lift and firmly hold the inner glass with both hands, remove it and
place it on a soft surface before cleaning it (3).

To correctly reposition the inner glass, make sure that the "R" is visible
in the left-hand corner and the clear surface (not printed) is facing up.
First insert the long side of the glass indicated by "R" into the support
seats, then lower it into position (4). Refit the upper edge (5): a click will
indicate correct positioning. Make sure the seal is secure before
refitting the door.
