USER INSTRUCTIONS
15. Cleaning and maintenance
Do not use a steam jet to clean the appliance.
Before any intervention it is necessary to disengage the appliance power supply.
Avoid leaving acid or alkaline (vinegar, lemon juice, salt, tomato juice,...) substances
on the steel, grids and other parts of the appliance.
15.1 Cleaning the stainless steel
In order to properly preserve the stainless steel, it is necessary to regularly clean it after each use,
once it has cooled down.
15.1.1 Daily ordinary cleaning
In order to clean and preserve stainless steel surfaces, only use specific products that do not contain
abrasives or chlorine based acid substances.
Usage mode: pour the product on a wet cloth and pass it over the surface, carefully rinse and dry using
a soft cloth or a deerskin.
15.1.2 Food stains or residue
Absolutely avoid using metal sponges and sharp scrapers to avoid damaging the sur-
faces. Use normal products for steel, non abrasives, using wood or plastic material
tools if needed. Carefully rinse and dry using a soft cloth or a deerskin.
We recommend using Foster Steel Clean to clean the steel; for information on where it
can be obtained, contact the after-sales technical assistance centre.
Do not use chemical detergents such as oven sprays or stain removers.
15.2 Cleaning gas components
The grids, caps and flame spreading crowns are removable in order to simplify cleaning: wash then
in hot water with non abrasive detergent, making sure that any crud is removed and dry them imme-
diately using a cloth. Re-assemble the caps on their crowns. The cast iron components, like the grids
and the burners, must never be washed in dishwashers.
For the ignition glow plugs to work correctly, the thermocouples must always be clean. Frequently
check them and, if necessary, clean using a wet cloth and then dry them. Any dry residue must be
removed using a wood toothpick or a needle.
