4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
4.2 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the oven surfaces in good 
condition, they should be cleaned regularly 
after use. Let them cool first.
4.3 Ordinary daily cleaning
Always use only specific products that do 
not contain abrasives or chlorine-based 
acids.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and 
wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry 
with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
4.4 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp 
scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products with 
the aid of wooden or plastic utensils 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.
4.5 Removing the door
For easier cleaning, the door can be 
removed and placed on a canvas.
To remove the door proceed as follows:
1. Open the door completely and insert two 
pins into the holes on the hinges 
indicated in the figure.
2. Grasp the door on both sides with both 
hands, lift it forming an angle of around 
30° and remove it.

chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel 
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the 
surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or 
chromium-plating).

detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder 
products, stain removers and metallic 
sponges).

3. To reassemble the door, put the hinges in 
the relevant slots in the oven, making sure 
that grooved sections A are resting 
completely in the slots.  Lower the door 
and once it is in place remove the pins 
from the holes in the hinges.
4.6 Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept 
thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen 
roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a 
damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.
4.7 Removing the internal glass 
panels
For easier cleaning the door internal glass 
panels can be disassembled.
1. Remove the internal glass panel by 
pulling the rear part gently upwards, 
following the movement indicated by the 
arrows (1).
2. Then, pull the front part upwards (2). In 
this way, the 4 pins attached to the glass 
detach from their housings in the oven 
door.
3. Clean the external glass panel and the 
panels previously removed. Use 
absorbent kitchen roll. In case of 
stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge 
and neutral detergent.
4. Replace the panels in the reverse order in 
which they were removed.
We recommend the use of 
cleaning products distributed by 
the manufacturer.

5. Reposition the internal glass panel. Take 
care to centre and insert the 4 pins into 
their housings in the oven door by 
applying slight pressure.
4.8 Cleaning the inside of 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. Carefully rinse and 
dry the damp parts.Removing racks/trays support frames
Removing the guide frames enables the 
sides to be cleaned more easily. This 
operation should be performed each time 
the automatic cleaning cycle is used (only 
on some models).
To remove the guide frames. Pull the frame 
towards the inside of the oven to unhook it 
from its groove A, then slide it out of the 
seats B at the back.
When cleaning is complete, repeat the 
above procedures to put the guide frames 
back in.
The oven should be operated at 
the maximum temperature for 
about 15-20 minutes after the use 
of specific products, to burn off the 
residues left inside the oven.
For easier cleaning, remove the 
door.

solution inside the oven using a spray 
nozzle. Direct the spray against the side 
walls, upwards, downwards and 
towards the deflector.

Vapour Clean setting
1. Turn the function knob and the 
temperature knob to the   symbol.
2. Set a cooking time of 18 minutes using 
the timer knob.
3. At the end of the cooking time, the timer 
will switch the oven heating elements off 
and the buzzer will start to sound.
End of the Vapour Clean cycle
4. Open the door and wipe away the less 
stubborn dirt with a microfibre cloth.
5. Use an anti-scratch sponge with brass 
filaments on tougher encrustations.
6. In case of grease residues use specific 
oven cleaning products.
7. Remove the water left inside the oven.
Vapour Clean is an assisted 
cleaning procedure which 
facilitates the removal of dirt. 
Thanks to this process, it is possible 
to clean the inside of the oven very 
easily. The dirt residues are 
softened by the heat and water 
vapour for easier removal 
afterwards.

being affected by any unpleasant 
odours, we recommend that the oven is 
dried using a fan-assisted function at 
160°C for approximately 10 minutes.
4.10 Extraordinary maintenance
Replacing the internal light bulb
1. Completely remove all accessories from 
inside the oven.
2. Remove the racks/trays support frames.
3. Remove the bulb cover using a tool (e.g. 
a screwdriver).4. Slide out and remove the lamp.
5. Replace the lamp with one of the same 
type (40W).
6. Refit the cover correctly, so that the 
moulded part of the glass is facing the 
door.
7. Press the cover completely down so that 
it attaches perfectly to the bulb support.
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 4 edges of the 
seal outwards to detach the fasteners.
We recommend that you use 
rubber gloves for these operations.
For easier manual cleaning of the 
parts difficult to reach, we 
recommend that you remove the 
door.
