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.
13.2 Cleaning 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.
