13. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

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

13.1 Cleaning stainless steel

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

13.1.0 Ordinary Daily Cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or bleach.

How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

13.1.1 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 chamois leather.

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.

13.2Cleaning of the oven (without self-cleaning panels)

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

•DO NOT USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE OVEN.

•Clean the oven grill and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.

•The oven should be operated at the maximum temperature for about 15/20 minutes after using specific products, to eliminate the residues deposited inside the oven.

•For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see P. 12.6 / 12.7)

13.3 Cleaning of the oven (with self-cleaning panels – Only on some models)

13.3.2 Self-cleaning liners

The oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners.

These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over time.

13.3.3 Using the self-cleaning liners

Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at temperatures of not less than 200°C for a time varying from 30 to 60 minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues present. When the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a damp sponge

13.3.4 Looking after the self-cleaning liners

The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners.
