13.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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

Never use a jet of steam for cleaning the appliance.

13.1 Cleaning stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly when you are done using the cooker, after it has cooled.

13.2 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.

13.3 Food stains or residues

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

Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic materials 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.

13.4 Cleaning the oven

For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take out all removable parts.

Clean the oven racks and side guides with hot

water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.

• For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see point “14.2 Removing the door”).

The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20 minutes after use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.

13.5 Cleaning the door glazing

The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent paper towels, remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and ordinary detergent.

When cleaning, dry the appliance thoroughly to prevent water or detergent drips from interfering with its operation or creating unsightly marks.

Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners for cleaning the door glazing. (e.g., powder products, oven- cleaner sprays, stain removers and metal scouring pads). Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven's glass doors since they may scratch the surface and cause the glass to shatter.
