7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NEVER USE A JET OF STEAM FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.

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

7.1Cleaning stainless steel

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

7.1.1 Ordinary daily cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

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

7.1.2Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface. Use ordinary non-abrasive products for cleaning steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

7.2Cleaning the gas components

For easier cleaning the pan stands, burner caps, flame spreader crowns and burners can all be removed; wash them with warm water and a non- abrasive detergent making sure to remove any encrustation and wait until they are perfectly dry. Replace the burner caps on their corresponding crowns, making sure that the slots A are centred with the burner pins B.

For correct operation the igniters and thermocouples must always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.
