MAINTENANCE & CLEANING Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply and wait for the appliance to cool down. Children should not clean the appliance or perform maintenance tasks without proper supervision. Aluminium finish Clean the aluminium finish with non-abrasive liquid cleaners intended for such surfaces. Apply the cleaner onto a wet cloth and clean the surface. Then, rinse the surface with water. Do not apply the cleaner directly onto the aluminium finish.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN CLEANING You may use the standard cleaning procedure to clean stubborn dirt in the oven (using cleaners or an oven spray). After such cleaning, rinse the cleaner residues thoroughly. Clean the oven and the accessories after each use to prevent the dirt from burning into the surface. The easiest way to remove fat is by using warm soapsuds while the oven is still warm. With stubborn dirt and grime, use conventional oven cleaners.
USING THE AQUA CLEAN FUNCTION TO CLEAN THE OVEN 1 Turn the COOKING SYSTEM SELECTOR KNOB to Aqua Clean. An icon will be displayed along with the PRESET TEMPERATURE and the time of 30 minutes. The duration cannot be changed. 2 Pour 0.6 l water into the glass tray and place it into the lower guide. 3 After 30 minutes, food residues on the oven enamel walls will have softened and they will be easy to clean with a damp cloth. 473984 Use the Aqua Clean system when the oven has fully cooled down.
REMOVING AND CLEANING THE WIRE GUIDES Only use conventional cleaners to clean the guides. 1 Undo the screw. Use a screwdriver. 2 Remove the guides from the holes in the back wall. Take care not to lose the spacers fitted on the wire guides. Replace the spacers after cleaning; otherwise, sparks may appear. After cleaning, re-tighten the screws on the guides with a screwdriver. When replacing the wire guides, make sure you mount them on the same side they were installed on prior to removal.
REPLACING THE BULB The bulb is a consumable and therefore not covered by warranty. Before changing the bulb, remove the trays, the grid, and the guides. Use a Phillips (cross) screwdriver. (Halogen lamp: G9, 230 V, 25 W) 1 Undo the four screws on the cover. Remove the cover and the glass. 2 Remove the halogen light bulb and replace it with a new one. Use protection to avoid burs. There is a gasket on the cover which should not be removed. Do not allow the gasket to be detached from the cover.
