13.8 Cleaning the volcanic rock grill
After cooking, the cast iron grill and other components will remain hot for a certain length of
time. Make sure they are completely cool before handling them for cleaning.
Proceed as follows:
x
clean the cast iron grill by immersing it in hot water and washing up liquid. Do not under any
circumstances use
abrasive or corrosive
detergents
(e.g. powder products or metallic
sponges).
Rinse and dry carefully.
While cleaning the grill, handle it with care as it is fragile due to the material it is made of and its
thickness.
Any grease deposits can be removed more easily by heating the grill for 5 or 10 minutes (knob in
position 11). Allow the grill to cool, remove it, rinse and dry well with a clean cloth.
x
Lift the heating element upwards and clean
it with a damp sponge;
x
lock the heating element by moving the lock
system
S
towards the left as shown in the
figure.
x
Remove the safety vat. Place the volcanic
rock in a suitable container or pour away
the water with the cooking fat residue.
The volcanic rock contained in the collection basin is not subject to wear and therefore never has to
be replaced. To eliminate any unpleasant odours due to normal use, stir up the stones and heat
them for a few minutes. If cooking grease is deposited on the surface of the stones, it is sufficient to
heat them in an oven for high temperature pyrolysis. The same quality of cleaning can be obtained
by turning the energy regulator knob of the grill to the maximum position (11) for 5 or 10 minutes,
depending on the amount of soil that has accumulated. In any case, volcanic rock replacements
can be found in any store that sells household goods.
x
The stainless steel safety vat should be cleaned with a specific product that
does not contain
chlorine-based abrasives or acid substances
, or a little warm vinegar (it is dishwasher
safe). Rinse and dry carefully;
x
replace the safety vat into its working position. Finally, release the lock system
S
and lower the
heating element over the vat.
13.9 Cleaning the vitroceramic hob
The vitroceramic hob must be cleaned regularly, each time it is used if possible, when the latent
heat lights are off.
Any light-coloured marks caused by aluminium-based pans can be removed with a damp cloth
dipped in vinegar.
Any burnt residue left after cooking can be removed with a wooden spatula. Rinse with water and
dry well with a clean cloth.
Do not under any circumstances use
abrasive or corrosive
detergents
(e.g. powder products,
oven sprays, stain-removers or metallic sponges).
