Indesit I5ESH1XUK User Guide

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such
as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these
may scratch the surface beyond repair.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.

• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob

using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent
kitchen roll.

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external

parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using
a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water
and neutral soap. Use specialised products for
the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning,
rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
powders or corrosive substances.

• The hob grids, burner caps, flame spreader rings

and burners may be removed to make cleaning
easier; wash them in hot water and non-abrasive
detergent, making sure all burnt-on residue is
removed before drying them thoroughly.

• For hobs with electronic ignition, the terminal part

of the electronic lighting devices should be
cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes
should be checked for blockages.

• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned

after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot
water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with
a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

•

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a

sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product,
then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use
rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers
as these could scratch the surface and cause the
glass to crack.

• The accessories can be washed like everyday

crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.

• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that

has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any
remaining drops of water should also be dried.

! Do not close the cover when the burners are alight
or when they are still hot.

Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult
to turn. If this occurs, the tap must be replaced.

!This procedure must be performed by a qualified
technician authorised by the manufacturer.

1. After disconnecting the
oven from the electricity
mains, remove the glass lid

covering the lamp socket (

see

figure).
2. Remove the light bulb and

replace it with a similar one:
voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W,

cap E 14.
3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the
electricity supply.

Please have the following information to hand:
• The appliance model (Mod.).
• The serial number (S/N).
This information can be found on the data plate
located on the appliance and/or on the packaging.

•  The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate. 

If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and 
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can 
be difficult to remove.

• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting 

lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with 
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption

• Use purely flat pots and pans
•  If you are cooking something that takes a long time, 

it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as 
fast and saves a third of the energy.
