Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using
the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted
appliances should be collected separately in order to
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the
materials inside the machine, while preventing potential
damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The
crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to
remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.

Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public

waste collection service, taken to suitable collection
areas in the area or, if permitted by current national
legislation, they may be returned to the dealers as part
of an exchange deal for a new equivalent product.

All major manufacturers of household appliances

participate in the creation and organisation of systems
for the collection and disposal of old and disused
appliances.

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.

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.

).

• 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.
