Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
!
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
• 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 burners may 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.
• Clean the terminal part of the flame failure safety
devices* frequently.
• 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.
• Do not close the cover when the burners are alight
or when they are still hot.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven regularly. 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.
Replacing the oven light bulb
1. After disconnecting the
oven from the electricity mains,
remove the glass lid covering the
lamp socket (
see fi gure
).
2. Remove the light bulb and
replace it with a similar one:
voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W,
cap E 14.
3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the
electricity supply.
Gas tap maintenance
Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult to
turn. If this occurs, the tap must be replaced.
!
This procedure must be performed by a qualified
technician authorised by the manufacturer.
Care and maintenance
*
Only available in certain models.
• 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.
Automatic cleaning using the Diamond Clean
cycle
The Diamond Clean mode is an automatic cleaning cycle
which releases steam inside the cavity and uses the exclusi-
ve Diamond Clean enamel to make it easy to remove any dirt
residues from the cavity and accessories. Available in three
different levels: Economy, Normal and Intensive - to be used
based on the type of dirt.
The Diamond Clean cycle can be used to keep the oven al-
ways clean. During the cleaning process steam is released
inside the cavity which, together with the titanium-based Dia-
mond Clean enamel (on the inside walls of the oven and drip-
ping pans), makes it easy to clean the oven.
In order to start the Diamond Clean cycle:
1. Wait for the oven to cool down.
2. Place the dripping pan on level 1 and pour in the following
quantities of water: 150g for the Economy cycle, 250g for the
Normal cycle and 350g for the Intensive cycle. A smaller or
larger quantity of water than recommended may affect the
cycle results. Do not use detergents.
3. Close the oven door.
4. Turn the programmer knob to TRADITIONAL function, and
the thermostat knob to the temperature of 100’C
! To prevent any steam leaks do not open the door during the
cycle.
! In the last minutes of the intensive cycle the control panel
will partially and momentarily mist up. The mist will disappear
every time the tangential cooling fan is started.
