The combination of the fan and the 
circular element (incorporated in the 
rear of the oven) allows you to cook 
different foods on several levels, as 
long as they need the same 
temperatures and same type of 
cooking. Hot air circulation ensures 
instant and uniform distribution of 
heat. It will be possible, for instance, 
to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits 
simultaneously (on different levels) 
without mixing odours and flavours.

4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
4.2 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the surfaces in good condition, 
they should be cleaned regularly after use. 
Let them cool first.
4.3 Ordinary daily cleaning
Always use only specific products that do 
not contain abrasives or chlorine-based 
acids.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and 
wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry 
with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
4.4 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp 
scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products with 
the aid of wooden or plastic utensils 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.
4.5 Removing the door
For easier cleaning, the door can be 
removed and placed on a canvas.
To remove the door proceed as follows:
1. Open the door completely and insert two 
pins into the holes on the hinges 
indicated in the figure.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces

appliance.

chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel 
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the 
surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or 
chromium-plating).

detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder 
products, stain removers and metallic 
sponges).

or sharp metal scrapers.

2. Grasp the door on both sides with both 
hands, lift it forming an angle of around 
30° and remove it.
3. To reassemble the door, put the hinges in 
the relevant slots in the oven, making sure 
that grooved sections A are resting 
completely in the slots. Lower the door 
and once it is in place remove the pins 
from the holes in the hinges.
4.6 Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept 
thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen 
roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a 
damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.
4.7 Removing the internal glass 
panels
For easier cleaning the door internal glass 
panels can be disassembled.
1. Remove the internal glass panel by 
pulling the rear part gently upwards, 
following the movement indicated by the 
arrows (1).
2. Then, pull the front part upwards (2). In 
this way, the 4 pins attached to the glass 
detach from their housings in the oven 
door.
3. Some models have an intermediate glass 
panel. Remove the intermediate glass 
panel by lifting it upwards.
We recommend the use of 
cleaning products distributed by 
the manufacturer.

4. Clean the external glass panel and the 
panels previously removed. Use 
absorbent kitchen roll. In case of 
stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge 
and neutral detergent.
5. Refit the panels in the reverse order in 
which they were removed.
6. Reposition the internal glass panel. Take 
care to centre and insert the 4 pins into 
their housings in the oven door by 
applying slight pressure.4.8 Cleaning the inside of 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. Carefully rinse and 
dry the damp parts.
The oven should be operated at 
the maximum temperature for 
about 15-20 minutes after the use 
of specific products, to burn off the 
residues left inside the oven.
For easier cleaning, remove the 
door.

Removing racks/trays support frames
Removing the guide frames enables the 
sides to be cleaned more easily. This 
operation should be performed each time 
the automatic cleaning cycle is used (on 
some models only).
To remove the guide frames: Pull the frame 
towards the inside of the oven to unhook it 
from its groove A, then slide it out of the 
seats B at the back.
When cleaning is complete, repeat the 
above procedures to put the guide frames 
back in.4.9 Vapor Clean: assisted oven 
cleaning (on some models only)
Preliminary operations
Before starting the pyrolysis cycle:

inside the oven. The roof lining can be 
left inside the oven.

floor of the oven. Make sure it does not 
overflow out of the cavity.
Vapor Clean is an assisted 
cleaning procedure which 
facilitates the removal of dirt. 
Thanks to this process, it is possible 
to clean the inside of the oven very 
easily. The dirt residues are 
softened by the heat and water 
vapour for easier removal 
afterwards.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces

solution inside the oven using a spray 
nozzle. Direct the spray against the side 
walls, upwards, downwards and 
towards the deflector.
Vapor Clean setting
1. Turn the function knob and the 
temperature knob to the   symbol.
2. Set a cooking time of 18 minutes using 
the cooking time procedure described in 
more detail in “Programmed cooking”;
3. The Vapor Clean cycle starts 
approximately 6 seconds after the last 
pressure on the programmers keys.
4. At the end of the Vapor Clean cycle, the 
timer will deactivate the oven heating 
elements, the buzzer will start to sound 
and the numbers on the dial will flash.
End of the Vapor Clean cycle
5. Open the door and wipe away the less 
stubborn dirt with a microfibre cloth.
6. Use an anti-scratch sponge with brass 
filaments on tougher encrustations.
7. In case of grease residues use specific 
oven cleaning products.
8. Remove the water left inside the oven.
9. For improved hygiene and to avoid food 
being affected by any unpleasant 
odours, we recommend that the oven is 
dried using a fan-assisted function at 
160°C for approximately 10 minutes.
We recommend spraying approx. 
20 times at the most.
We recommend that you use 
rubber gloves for these operations.
For easier manual cleaning of the 
parts difficult to reach, we 
recommend that you remove the 
door.
