To ensure optimal performance and longevity from your De'Longhi range cooker, proper setup, compatibility checks, and routine care are essential.
Professional Installation: Due to its dual fuel nature (gas and electricity), professional installation by a qualified gas safe engineer and electrician is mandatory. This ensures compliance with safety regulations and proper functionality.
LPG Conversion (Optional): If you intend to use LPG instead of natural gas, the cooker is LPG convertible. This conversion must be performed by a qualified technician using the appropriate kit (often supplied or purchased separately).
Space Requirements: Ensure your kitchen has sufficient space for its dimensions (910 mm H x 900 mm W x 600 mm D), including adequate ventilation.
Power & Gas Supply: Confirm accessible gas and electrical connections at the installation site.
Kitchen Layout: The 90cm width is a standard range cooker size but requires careful planning for cabinet and countertop integration.
Utensils: Compatible with all standard cookware suitable for gas hobs and electric ovens. The cast iron pan supports are designed for stability.
General Cleaning: Wipe down exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
Hob Cleaning: For the gas hob, remove the cast iron pan supports and burner caps/crowns after cooling. Wash them in warm, soapy water. Clean the hob surface with a non-abrasive cleaner. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling.
Oven Cleaning: The easy-clean enamel interiors can be wiped down after each use with a damp cloth and mild oven cleaner. For deeper cleaning, the removable inner oven door glass can be easily detached for thorough washing, as per the user manual instructions.
Flame Supervision Device (FSD): Periodically check that burners ignite properly and that the FSD functions by attempting to light a burner and then turning off the gas before the FSD activates. If it doesn't shut off, consult a technician.
Regular Servicing: Consider annual professional servicing, particularly for the gas components, to ensure safe and efficient operation.
