9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
DO NOT USE A STEAM JET TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
9.1 Cleaning stainless steel
In order to preserve stainless steel properly, it must be regularly cleaned at the end of every use of
the cooking range, after it has been left to cool.
9.1.1 Daily cleaning
To clean and preserve stainless steel surfaces, always and only use special products which do not
contain abrasives or chlorine-based acidic substances.
Instructions: pour some of the product onto a damp cloth and wipe over the surface, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a chamois leather.
9.1.2 Food stains or residues
You must not use wire wool or sharp scrapers as these will damage the surfaces.
Use normal, non-abrasive products for steel, with wooden or plastic utensils if
necessary.
Rinse thoroughly afterwards and dry with a soft cloth or a chamois leather.
Do not let sugared food residues (e.g. jam) dry inside the oven. If they dry for too long,
they may damage the enamel which covers the interior of the oven.
9.2 Cleaning the hob components
9.2.1 The glass cover (only with certain models)
For easier cleaning the cover can be taken off of its hinges by lifting it upwards
from its open position.
If liquids land on the closed cover, remove them very carefully with a cloth
before opening it.
9.2.2 Racks
Remove the racks and clean them in lukewarm water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to
remove all encrusted food. Remount them on the hob.
Over time, sustained contact of the racks with flame can cause the enamel to alter around the areas
exposed to the heat. This is entirely normal and in no ways compromises the operation of this
component.
9.2.3 Caps and flame spreaders
The caps and flame spreaders can be removed to facilitate cleaning;
wash them in hot water using a non-abrasive detergent and make sure
that all encrusted food is removed then wait until they are completely
dry.
ATTENTION: Do not wash these components in the dishwasher.
They can be soaked in hot water containing a dishwashing product.
Remount the flame spreaders, ensuring that they are fitted in their
housings with their caps, and making sure that the gaps A in the flame
spreaders correspond with the lighters and thermocouples.
