Respecting and conserving the

environment

• You can help to reduce the peak load of the

electricity supply network companies by using the
oven in the hours between late afternoon and the
early hours of the morning.

• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean

to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere
properly to the door, thus avoiding

heat

dispersion.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as
stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents
or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch
the surface beyond repair.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.

• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a

damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts

and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a
sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water
and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the
removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse well
and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or
corrosive substances.

• The hob grids, burner caps, flame spreader rings
and the hob burners can be removed
to make cleaning easier; wash them in hot water and

non-abrasive detergent, making sure all burnt-on
residue is removed before drying them thoroughly.

• For hobs with electronic ignition, the terminal part of

the electronic lighting devices should be cleaned
frequently and the gas outlet holes should be
checked for blockages.

• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned

after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot
water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a
soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a

sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these
could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.

• The accessories can be washed like everyday

crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.

• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that

has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any
remaining drops of water should also be dried.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If
the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest
Authorised After-sales Service Centre. We recommend
that the oven is not used until the seals have been
replaced.

Gas tap maintenance

Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult to
turn. If this occurs, the tap must be replaced.

Care and maintenance

• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven

and always 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.

• 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.

• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.

If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.

• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting

lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption

• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,

it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.
