Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not wipe off or wash away the white lubricating grease (visible when the slides are extended). | Do not wash these in the dishwasher or immerse in soapy water.

Drop-Down Upper Element
Always turn off the oven at the wall before lowering the upper element. Make sure the oven has cooled down completely before starting.
- To lower the upper element: pull the two securing clips gently forward to release the element. The element will now drop down to enable cleaning.
- When you have finished cleaning the oven ceiling, pull the securing clips forward, raise the element and release the clips. Make sure the element is securely held in place.
- The element itself is self-cleaning.
Removing the side racks and catalytic panels (some models only, purchased separately)
Always turn off the oven at the wall first. Ensure the oven has cooled down completely before starting.

Removing the Door Glass Panes for Cleaning
- Make sure you follow the precautions and instructions below very carefully. Replacing the glass panes and the door incorrectly may result in damage to the oven and may void your warranty.
- Take care, the oven door is heavy. If you have any doubts, do not attempt to remove the door.
- Make sure the oven and all its parts have cooled down. Do not attempt to handle the parts of a hot oven.
- Take extreme care when handling the glass panes. Avoid the corners and edges of the glass bumping against any surface. This may result in the glass shattering.
- Don’t use oven cleaners or any other harsh/abrasive cleaners, cloths, scouring pads, steel wool or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass surfaces. These scratch the glass and may damage its special coating, which in turn could result in the glass cracking or shattering.
- If you notice any sign of damage on any of the glass panes (such as chipping or cracks), do not use the oven. Call your Authorised Repairer or Customer Care.
- Make sure you replace all the glass panes correctly. Do not use the oven without all glass panes correctly in place.
- If the glass panes feel difficult to remove or replace, do not force them. Call your Authorised Repairer or Customer Care for help.
Service visits providing assistance with using or maintaining the oven are not covered by your warranty.
We recommend removing the door to make cleaning the glass easier. See ‘Removing and refitting the oven door’ for instructions. Once the door is removed, lay it down on a soft, clean, flat surface.
Make sure you follow the precautions and instructions below very carefully. Replacing the glass panes and the door incorrectly may result in damage to the oven and may void your warranty.
To Remove the Inner Pane
- Press the glass retainer tabs in on both sides of the door.
- Pull the glass retainer up until the tabs relocate in the topmost hole.
- Holding the top of the inner pane, gently pull the pane toward the top of the door until the pane is clear of the clamp at the bottom of the door and lift out. Do not angle the pane too much as you may damage the glass.

To Remove the Middle Pane
- Press the glass retainer tabs in on both sides of the door again. The glass retainer can then be pulled off completely.
- Gently pull the middle pane toward the top of the door until the pane is clear of the clamp at the bottom of the door.
- Lift the pane out. The rubber stoppers at the top of the pane remain attached to the glass pane.
After Cleaning, Replace the Door Glass Panes
When Replacing the Glass Panes Make Sure That
-
You replace the inner pane correctly as shown. The pane must be in the position described below in order to fit into the door and to ensure that the oven operates safely and correctly
-
You take extra care not to bump the edges of the glass against any object or surface you do not force any of the panes into place. If you are experiencing difficulties replacing the panes, remove them and start the process again from the beginning. If this still does not help, call Customer Care.

Replacing the Oven Light Bulbs
Models with Ceiling Mounted Light
Oven bulb replacement is not covered by your warranty.
The light is located in the ceiling of the oven, center front.
Your oven uses G9 halogen bulbs with the specifications 220-240V, 50Hz and 25W. Always hold the replacement bulb in a soft cloth. Touching the bulb will reduce its life- span.
Changing the bulb
-
Let the oven cavity and grill element cool down before changing the bulb.
Turn the oven off at the wall before continuing.
- Turning anti-clockwise unscrew the glass cover (B).
- Carefully pull out the faulty halogen bulb (A).
- Replace the light bulb (A)
- Replace the glass cover (B).
- Turn the oven back on and set the clock (see ‘First use’ for instructions).
