V. CLEANING
CAUTION!
Before carrying out any cleaning operation, disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
1. EXTERNAL PARTS
SATIN-FINISH STEEL SURFACES (daily)
•
Clean all steel surfaces: dirt can be easily removed as
soon as it forms.
•
Remove grime, fat and other cooking residuals from steel
surfaces when cool using soapy water, with or without
detergent, and a cloth or sponge. Dry the surfaces
thoroughly after cleaning.
•
In case of encrusted grime, fat or food residuals go over
with a cloth or sponge, wiping with the grain of the satin
finish, and rinsing often: rubbing in a circular motion
combined with the particles of dirt on the cloth/sponge
could ruin the steel’s satin finish.
•
Metal objects can ruin or damage the steel: ruined
surfaces become dirty more easily and are more subject
to corrosion.
•
Restore the satin finish if necessary.
SURFACES BLACKENED BY HEAT (when necessary)
Exposure to high temperatures can cause the formation of
dark marks. These do not constitute damage and can be
removed by following the instructions given in the previous
paragraph.
NB: Avoid dirtying the inside of the Venturi tubes.
The presence of dirt inside the appliance can obstruct the
nozzles, and thus affect the flame.
2. OTHER SURFACES
CAST IRON ELECTRIC HOT-PLATES
Clean the hot-plates with a damp cloth, then switch them on
for a few minutes to dry rapidly; lastly, lubricate them with a
light film of cooking oil. DO NOT pour cold liquids on the hot-
plates while they are hot.
IMPORTANT!
With electric appliances, make sure no water
comes into contact with electrical components: water
penetration can cause short circuiting and dissipation, tripping
the appliance’s protection devices.
3. PERIODS OF DISUSE
If the equipment is not going to be used for some time, take
the following precautions:
•
Close cocks or main switches ahead of the appliances.
•
Go over all stainless-steel surfaces vigorously with a cloth
moistened with paraffin oil in order to spread a protective
film.
•
Periodically air the room.
•
Have the appliance checked before using it again.
•
To prevent too rapid evaporation of accumulated moisture
with consequent breakage of elements, switch electric
appliances on at minimum heat for at least 45 minutes
before reuse.
4. INTERNAL PARTS
(every 6 months)
IMPORTANT! Operations to be carried out only by
specialised technicians.
•
Check the condition of internal parts.
•
Remove any deposits of grime inside the appliance.
•
Check and clean the discharge system.
NB !
In particular environmental conditions (e.g.
intensive
use of the appliance, salty environment, etc.) the above
cleaning should be more frequent.
