10.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

10.1 Cleaning stainless steel

Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power supply to the machine.

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first.

10.1.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

10.1.2 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.

Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

10.2Cleaning of cooking hob components

10.2.1 Grids

Extract the grids (the central one first, then the side ones). Clean with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove incrustation. Reassemble positioning the side ones first and then the central one.
