9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance. The steam could reach the
electronics, damaging them and causing short-circuits.
WARNING: For your safety, you are advised to wear protective gloves
while performing any cleaning or extraordinary maintenance.
Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.
9.1 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the oven surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let the appliance cool first.
9.2 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific
products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
9.3 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage
the surfaces.
Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre
cloth.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the
oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of
the oven.

9.4 Cleaning the cooking hob parts
9.4.1 Pan stands
Remove the pan stands and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive
detergent, making sure to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and
return them to the hob.
Continuous contact between the pan stands and the flame can cause
modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a
completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this
component.
Do no wash these parts in a dishwasher.
9.4.2 Burner caps and flame-spreader crowns
The burner caps and flame-spreader crowns can be
removed for easier cleaning. Wash them in warm water and
non-abrasive detergent making sure to remove any
encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry.
Replace the flame-spreader crowns, making sure that they
are correctly in place with their respective burner caps and
ensuring that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned
with the igniters and thermocouples.
Do no wash these parts in a dishwasher.
9.4.3 Igniters and thermocouples
For correct operation, the igniters and thermocouples must
always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry
residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.
Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).

9.5 Cleaning the oven
For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool. Take
out all removable parts.
 Clean the oven racks with warm water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse
and dry.
 For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see “10.2 Removing the
door”).
The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20 minutes
after use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.
When the operation is complete, damp parts should be dried thoroughly.
9.5.1 Removing guide frames
Removing the guide frames enables the sides to be cleaned more easily.
To remove the guide frames:
1 Pull the frame towards the top of the oven
to unhook it from its housing A, then slide
it out of the seats B at the back.
2 When cleaning is complete, repeat the
above procedures to put the guide frames
back in.
9.6 Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent
kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and an ordinary
detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents to clean the oven door glass panels
(e.g. powder products, spot-removers and wire sponges).
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the
ovens glass doors since they may scratch the surface.

9.7 Removing the door seal (not on pyrolitic models)
To permit thorough cleaning of the oven, the
door seal may be removed.
There are fasteners on all four sides to attach it
to the edge of the oven. Pull the edges of the
seal outwards to detach the fasteners. The seal
must be replaced when it loses elasticity and
hardens.
9.8 Cleaning the door seal
To keep the seal clean, use a non-abrasive sponge and lukewarm water. The
seal should be soft and flexible (with the exception of pyrolitic models).
In pyrolitic models, the seal may flatten over time and lose its original shape. To
restore it, pinch the seal all the way along its perimeter. This also helps remove
any dirt on the seal.
9.9 Cleaning self-cleaning panels (catalysis cycle)
If the self-cleaning panels are dirty, primarily with small amounts of grease, a
heating cycle can be executed to regenerate them.
Clean the base and the roof liner first with a microfibre cloth soaked in water and
neutral washing up liquid, then rinse thoroughly.
Set a regeneration cycle by selecting a fan-assisted function at the maximum
temperature for one hour.
If the panels are particularly dirty, after the regeneration cycle, remove them
and wash them with neutral washing up liquid. Then rinse and dry them.
Put the panels back in the oven and set a fan-assisted function at a temperature
of 180°C for one hour, in order to ensure that they are thoroughly dry.
We recommend carrying out the self-cleaning panel regeneration cycle every 15
days.
The panel regeneration cycle is a cleaning method suitable for grease residues,
not sugar-based ones.

9.10 Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning
Pyrolysis may be carried out at any time of the day or night (if you wish to
benefit from the lower cost of electricity overnight).
During the first automatic cleaning cycle, unpleasant odours may occur due to
the normal evaporation of oily manufacturing substances. This is an absolutely
normal phenomenon which disappears after the first cleaning cycle.
Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not
contain any foods or large spills from previous cooking operations.
During the pyrolysis cycle, a door locking device makes it impossible to open
the door.
9.10.1 Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle
Pyrolysis may be carried out at any time of the day or night (if you wish to
benefit from the lower cost of electricity overnight).
 Completely remove all accessories from inside the oven, including the upper
guard.
 Remove the guide frames, see “9.5.1 Removing guide frames”.
In order not to damage the internal glass panel, it should be cleaned in
accordance with the usual procedure (see 9.6 Cleaning the door glazing) before
starting the automatic cleaning cycle. 
For very stubborn encrustations, lock the door using the pins provided and
remove the glass panel. Spray an oven cleaning product onto the glass (read
the warnings on the product); leave for 60 minutes, then rinse and dry the glass
using kitchen roll or a microfiber cloth. After carrying out these operations,
position the glass panel on the door again and remove the pins locking it.
 Remove the guide frames, see “9.5.1 Removing guide frames”.
 At the end of the cleaning cycle, when the oven has cooled down, reinsert
the frames by repeating the previously used procedure in reverse order.
 Make sure that the oven door is firmly closed.

120 MIN. 165 MIN. 210 MIN.
During the automatic cleaning cycle, the fans produce a more intense level of
noise due to a greater rotation speed; this is entirely normal and intended to
facilitate heat dissipation.
At the end of pyrolysis, the fans will continue to operate for long enough to avoid
overheating the walls of adjacent units and the front of the oven.
If the pyrolysis gives unsatisfactory results at minimum duration, it is
recommended to set a longer time for successive cleaning cycles.
9.10.2 Setting the cleaning cycle
Turn the function selection knob to   to select the cleaning cycle.
Press and hold down key  ; press keys   or   to set the cycle duration.
The setting varies between a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 3 hours
and 30 minutes.
Press   to confirm the start of the pyrolysis.
Two minutes after the cleaning cycle (Pyrolysis) starts, a door
locking device will be tripped, preventing the door from being
opened. The appropriate light will switch on to indicate that the
locking device has been activated.
At the end of the cleaning cycle the door locking device will remain active until
the temperature inside the oven has reached a safety threshold. When the oven
has cooled down, collect the residues from automatic cleaning with a damp
microfibre cloth.
To select a cleaning cycle with a delayed start, after setting the duration press
. The time when the cleaning cycle will terminate will appear on the display.
Press and hold down key  , and press keys   or   to set the time at
which you wish to terminate the cleaning cycle.
It is not possible to select any functions once the door locking device has been
activated. Wait for   to go out.
