Care and maintenance
• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
GB
• 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.
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the oven
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
• 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 stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts
and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a
sponge which has been soaked in lukewarm water
and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the
removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse
and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or
corrosive substances.
• 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.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
• Dirt and grease should be removed from the control
panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
•
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents that contain phosphorus. We
recommend that the steel surfaces are rinsed well
then dried thoroughly.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the
seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After-
sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not
used until the seals have been replaced.
Replacing the oven light bulb
To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Remove the glass cover using a screwdriver.

2. Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with a similar
one: Wattage 15 W, cap E 14.
Replace the glass cover, making sure the seal is
positioned correctly (see diagram).
! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting.
Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for
example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues
and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may
scratch the surface beyond repair.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass
ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry
thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper
(this is not supplied with the appliance). Remove spills
as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance
to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You
can obtain excellent results by using a rustproof steel
wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic
surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally been
melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the
scraper, while the surface is still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special
protective maintenance product: the invisible film left
by this product protects the surface from drips during
cooking. This maintenance should be carried out while
the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean
water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become
encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.
