Instructions for the User
7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NEVER USE A JET OF STEAM FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.
Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from
the electricity supply.
7.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep stainless steel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly,
after each use of the appliance, first allowing it to cool.
7.1.1 Routine daily cleaning
When cleaning and caring for stainless steel surfaces, always use only
specific products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
Instructions for use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe over
the surface, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois
leather.
7.1.2 Food stains or spills
Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers which will
damage the surface. Use ordinary non-abrasive products for
steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
7.2 Cleaning the gas components
The grids, the burner caps, the flame diffuser rings
and the burners can be removed for easier cleaning;
wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent,
taking care to remove all deposits, and wait for them
to dry completely. Replace the burner caps on their
rings, making sure that the holes A are perfectly
centered with the circular projections B on the
burners.
For best performance, the ignition plugs and
thermocouples must always be kept thoroughly clean.
Check them frequently and if necessary clean them with a
wet cloth. Remove any dry residues with a wooden
toothpick or a needle.
