9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance. The steam could reach the
electronics, damaging them and causing short-circuits.
WARNING: For your safety, you are advised to wear protective gloves
while performing any cleaning or extraordinary maintenance.
Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.
9.1 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the oven surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let the appliance cool first.
9.2 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific
products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
9.3 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage
the surfaces.
Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre
cloth.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the
oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of
the oven.

9.4 Cleaning the cooking hob parts
9.4.1 Pan stands
Remove the pan stands and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive
detergent, making sure to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and
return them to the hob.
Continuous contact between the pan stands and the flame can cause
modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a
completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this
component.
Do no wash these parts in a dishwasher.
9.4.2 Burner caps and flame-spreader crowns
The burner caps and flame-spreader crowns can be
removed for easier cleaning. Wash them in warm water and
non-abrasive detergent making sure to remove any
encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry.
Replace the flame-spreader crowns, making sure that they
are correctly in place with their respective burner caps and
ensuring that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned
with the igniters and thermocouples.
Do no wash these parts in a dishwasher.
9.4.3 Igniters and thermocouples
For correct operation, the igniters and thermocouples must
always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry
residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.
Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).

869.4.4 Barbeque plate
Remove the plate only when it has cooled off. Danger of burns!
1 Lift the plate from the shaped part on the
front. Take care not to spill residues that
might be in the side drainage holes.
2 Clean it using standard washing up liquid and
a soft sponge.
9.4.5 Barbeque plate drip tray
In order to remove the tray under the barbeque
resistance:
1 Remove the plate as described previously.
2 Lift the resistance and block it sliding the hold
to the right (as shown in the figure at the
side) until it hooks on the resistance.
3 Remove the drip tray using the two handles
and clean using specific cleaning products
for stainless steel and a soft sponge.

9.5 Cleaning the oven
For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool. Take
out all removable parts.
 Clean the oven racks with warm water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.
 For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see “10.2 Removing the door”).
The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20 minutes
after use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.
When the operation is complete, damp parts should be dried thoroughly.
9.5.1 Removing guide frames
Removing the guide frames enables the sides to be cleaned more easily.
To remove the guide frames:
1 Pull the frame towards the top of the oven
to unhook it from its housing A, then slide
it out of the seats B at the back.
2 When cleaning is complete, repeat the
above procedures to put the guide frames
back in.

9.6 Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent
kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and an ordinary
detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents to clean the oven door glass panels
(e.g. powder products, spot-removers and wire sponges).
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the
ovens glass doors since they may scratch the surface.
9.7 Removing the door seal
To permit thorough cleaning of the oven, the
door seal may be removed.
There are fasteners on all four sides to attach it
to the edge of the oven. Pull the edges of the
seal outwards to detach the fasteners. The seal
must be replaced when it loses elasticity and
hardens.
9.8 Cleaning the door seal
To keep the seal clean, use a non-abrasive sponge and lukewarm water. The
seal should be soft and flexible (with the exception of pyrolitic models).
In pyrolitic models, the seal may flatten over time and lose its original shape. To
restore it, pinch the seal all the way along its perimeter. This also helps remove
any dirt on the seal.

9.9 Cleaning self-cleaning panels (catalysis cycle)
If the self-cleaning panels are dirty, primarily with small amounts of grease, a
heating cycle can be executed to regenerate them.
Clean the base and the roof liner first with a microfibre cloth soaked in water and
neutral washing up liquid, then rinse thoroughly.
Set a regeneration cycle by selecting a fan-assisted function at the maximum
temperature for one hour.
If the panels are particularly dirty, after the regeneration cycle, remove them
and wash them with neutral washing up liquid. Then rinse and dry them.
Put the panels back in the oven and set a fan-assisted function at a temperature
of 180°C for one hour, in order to ensure that they are thoroughly dry.
We recommend carrying out the self-cleaning panel regeneration cycle every 15
days.
The panel regeneration cycle is a cleaning method suitable for grease residues,
not sugar-based ones.

10.EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
The oven requires periodic minor maintenance or replacement of parts subject
to wear, such as gaskets, light bulbs, etc. Specific instructions for each operation
of this kind are given below.
Before any intervention that requires access to live parts, disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
If a problem cannot be resolved through ordinary maintenance or in case of
other types of fault, contact your local technical support centre.
10.1 Replacing the light bulbs
Remove the bulb protector A by turning it
anticlockwise and replace bulb B with a similar
one. Re-fit bulb protector A.
Use only oven bulbs (T 300°C).

10.2 Removing the door
Open the door completely.
Insert two pins into the holes on the hinges
towards the back of them until they engage.
Grasp the door on both sides with both hands,
lift it forming an angle of around 30° and
remove it.
To reassemble the door, put the hinges in the
relevant slots in the oven, making sure that
grooved sections C are resting completely in
the slots.  Lower the door and once it is in place
remove the pins from the holes in the hinges.

11.INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
11.1 Installing in kitchen units
Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on adjacent furniture should be
temperature-resistant (no less than 90°C). If they are not sufficiently
temperature-resistant, they may warp over time. 
The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician and according to the
regulations in force.
Depending on the type of installation, this appliance belongs to class 2,
subclass 1 (Fig. A - Fig. B) or to class 1 (Fig. C).
It may be installed next to walls, one of which must be higher than the worktop,
at a minimum distance of 50 mm from the side of the appliance, as shown in
figures A and C relative to the installation classes.
Any wall units must be at a minimum distance of at least 750 mm above the
appliance. This distance can be reduced to 650 mm if a ventilation hood is
installed.
