Instructions for the User

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NEVER USE A JET OF STEAM FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.

Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from

the electricity supply.

7.1 Cleaning stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly,

after each use of the appliance, first allowing it to cool.

7.1.1 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.

7.1.2 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.

7.2 Cleaning the gas components

The grids, the burner caps, the flame diffuser rings

and the burners can be removed for easier cleaning;

wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent,

taking care to remove all deposits, and wait for them

to dry completely. Replace the burner caps on their

rings, making sure that the holes A are perfectly

centered with the circular projections B on the

burners.

For best performance, the ignition plugs and

thermocouples must always be kept thoroughly clean.

Check them frequently and if necessary clean them with a

wet cloth. Remove any dry residues with a wooden

toothpick or a needle.
