How To Keep Your Oven In Shape - Indesit HGM 30 K.C Installationsanleitung

Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance,
disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
• Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
• the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be
washed with lukewarm water without using any abra-
sive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains
are difficult to remove, use special products available
on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse
thoroughly and dry.
• the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned
immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot
water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and
the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive de-
tergents (for example cleaning powders, etc...) and
abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as
limescale-remover, etc...) as these could damage the
enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly
tough to remove, use a special product for oven clean-
ing, following the instructions provided on the packet.
• if you use your oven for an extended period of time,
condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.
• there is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening
which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the
condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary,
clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects
to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact
your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recom-
mend you avoid using the oven until it has been re-
paired.
• never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the
consequent accumulation of heat could compromise
the cooking and even damage the enamel.
• clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or
sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
• the electric hotplates should be cleaned with a damp
cloth and lubricated with a little oil while still warm;
How to remove the oven door
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven
door. Proceed as follows:
• open the door fully;
• lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two
hinges;
• grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly
but not completely;
• pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat;
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures

Replacing the Oven Lamp
• Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance
to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the
plug is accessible;
• Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
• Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following charac-
teristics:
- Voltage: 230/240 V
- Wattage 25W
- Type E14
• Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains power supply.
Cleaning the hob
Before you start cooking, make sure the hob surface is
clean, wiping it with a damp cloth if necessary to remove
any dust or food residue.
The hob surface must be cleaned regularly with a solution
of warm water and a non-abrasive cleaner. You should
clean glass ceramic hob surfaces regularly, using a special
product. First remove all grease and spills from the hob
surface with an appropriate scraper, such as
Fig. A.) (not provided).
Clean the hob while still warm; use a special cleaning
product and some kitchen roll (see Fig. B). Then rub with
a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Fig. A
Aluminium foil, plastic or synthetic items that may have
been accidentally melted, as well as sugar or highly sugary
food should be removed immediately from the hot cooking
zone using a scraper. Special cleaning products leave a
clear surface layer which prevents dirt from adhering to
the hob. This layer also protects the surface from any
damage caused by highly sugary foodstuffs. In no case
whatsoever should abrasive sponges or products be used,
nor chemically aggressive cleaning products such as oven
cleaner sprays or stain removers.
