- re-assemble everything, following the opposite order.
N.B.: Check for gas leaks using bubble soap: sealing must be perfect.

REPLACING ELECTRIC OVEN COMPONENTS
"Electric oven units only".
To be performed exclusively by an "Authorised Service Centre"!
In order to replace these components, it is important to first do the following:
- switch off live voltage from the unit with the omnipolar breaker;
- remove the electric thermostat knob;
- disassemble the front panel;
- remove the oven bottom, if necessary;
- remove the oven door, if necessary.
Now you can replace the more important components.
A) Oven switch and thermostat.
Hold the front panel in your hand and:
- undo the two M5 screws;
- detach the thermostat from the switch; the thermostat is hooked to the switch by a bracket.
- carefully fold the two splines and detach the thermostat from the switch;
- remove the bulb from inside the oven. The bulb is fixed by two brackets;
- detach the wires, referring to the electrical diagram;
- install the new switch and the new thermostat, referring to the electrical diagram and following the reverse assembling order.
Attention: the switch and the thermostat should be grounded to earth (yellow-green wires).
B) Oven reistors
You can disassemble the elements from inside the oven chamber:
- detach the wires referring to the electrical diagram;
- install the new resistor referring to the electrical diagram and following the reverse assembling order.
Attention: the resistors should be grounded to earth (yellow-green wires).
C) Oven limit thermostat
If the limit thermostat is activated, then there is a fault; it is therefore almost impossible that it should be replaced.

- Clean the stainless steel parts daily with soapy lukewarm water, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.
- Absolutely avoid to clean the stainless steel with common steel-wool, or common steel brushes and scrapers, as they may
discard ferrous particles which, on depositing, cause rust spots. You may, if you like, use stainless steel-wool passed on
following the butter-finish direction.
- Should the unit remain unused for long periods, heavily rub all the steel surfaces with a cloth slightly wetted with vaseline
oil, in order to cover them with a protective film. Periodically ventilate the premises.
COOKING TOP
Frequently clean the plate by using a wet rag, then switch it on for a few minutes turning the knobs to top temperature in order
to dry it quickly. Finally, grease it with a thin film of vaseline oil.
CHROME PLATES
Frequently clean the plate by using a wet rag. Finally, grease it with a thin film of vaseline oil.
IMPORTANT
After using detergents, rinse the plate and switch it on for a few seconds to let it dry. Periodically cover it with a film of oil or
similar product for protection.
This way the plate will always be just as new.
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS
The stainless steel parts too must be cleaned with soapy water and then dried with a soft cloth.
The bright polish is kept by periodical wiping with liquid (POLISH), a product easily available.
