Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
• Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
• the enamelled parts and the
• the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often while it is still warm using warm water and detergent, followed by careful rinsing and drying;
•the flame spreaders should be washed frequently with hot water and detergent taking care to eliminate any scale;
•in cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes of the flame spreaders should be checked to make sure they are free of any obstructions;
•the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still warm;
•Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended to dry any water drops;
•On models with glass covers, the covers should be
cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or abrasives is to be avoided.
N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners are still warm. Remove any liquid from the lid before opening it.
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended changing it every year.
Greasing the Taps
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.
N.B.: This operation must be performed by a technician authorised by the manufacturer.
Removing the lid
The cooker lid can be removed to facilitate cleaning. To remove the lid, first open it completely and pull it upwards (see figure)
