7. Pulizia e manutenzione
Una pulizia e una manutenzione regolari garantiscono la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del tuo forno.
7.1 Pulizia pirolitica
The pyrolytic cleaning cycle burns off food residues at high temperatures, turning them into ash that can be easily wiped away. To initiate:
- Remove all accessories (grilles, drip tray) from the oven cavity.
- Rimuovere eventuali fuoriuscite di grandi dimensioni o detriti sparsi.
- Select the pyrolytic cleaning function using the function knob.
- Durante il ciclo lo sportello del forno si bloccherà automaticamente.
- Once the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, wipe the ash from the interior with a damp stoffa.
Caution: Ensure good ventilation during pyrolytic cleaning. The oven door remains locked until the temperature drops to a safe level.
7.2 Pulizia generale
- Esterno: Pulire con un panno morbido e un detergente delicato. Evitare detergenti abrasivi.
- Interior (non-pyrolytic): Per lo sporco leggero, utilizzare un damp cloth and mild oven cleaner.
- Porta rimovibile: The oven door is designed to be removable for easier cleaning. Refer to the specific instructions for door removal and reinstallation.
- Accessori: Wash grilles and drip tray in warm soapy water.
8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
Se riscontri problemi con il tuo forno, consulta i seguenti problemi comuni e le relative soluzioni prima di contattare l'assistenza.
- Il forno non si riscalda: Controllare che il forno sia correttamente collegato alla presa di corrente e che l'interruttore automatico non sia scattato. Assicurarsi che siano selezionate una funzione di cottura e una temperatura.
- Excessive cooling fan noise: Some noise during and after operation is normal as the cooling fan dissipates heat. If the noise is unusually loud or persistent, ensure the oven's ventilation openings are not obstructed.
- Il display digitale non funziona: Check power supply. If the display is blank or showing an error code, try resetting the oven by turning off the power at the main switch for a few minutes, then turning it back on.
- Pyrolytic cycle not starting: Ensure the oven door is fully closed and locked. All accessories must be removed from the cavity.
