10.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

10.1 Cleaning stainless steel

Before carrying out any operation involving access to live parts, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

To keep stainless steel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after each use, first allowing it to cool.

10.1.1 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.

10.1.2 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. Do not allow spills of foods with high sugar content (e.g. jam) to dry inside the oven. If they dry for too long, they might damage the enamel coating of the inside of the oven.

10.2Cleaning the hob components

10.2.1The pan stands

Remove the pan stands (first the middle one and then the ones at the sides). Wash them in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all deposits. Replace fitting first the side pan stands then the middle one.
