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.
7.1 Cleaning 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.
7.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they 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
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, then 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.
