Before beginning any sort of cleaning work on the appliance, turn the power supply off (at
the magnetothermal safety switch) and the water supply (by closing the cut-off cock) and then
let the oven cool down completely.
The appliance must be cleaned frequently, preferably daily, to guarantee best operations and
long life. This is an electric appliance therefore for obvious reasons water should not be used in
excess for cleaning. However, it is absolutely forbidden to wash the appliance with water jets,

If grease remover detergents are used to clean the stainless steel, ensure they do not contain
corrosive acids (no sort of chlorine, even if it is diluted) or abrasive products. Follow the
indications given on the product and the warnings about its use, wearing rubber gloves during
cleaning.
Do not use iron pads, steel wool or scrapers as they would ruin the surfaces.
Do not leave food on the steel surfaces for a long time that contain acid substances (lemon
juice, vinegar, salt, etc.) as they could cause corrosion.

Each time the oven is turned on, the water in the boiler is emptied and a washing and rinsing
cycle beings. During this phase, the oven can be used normally, there could just be a slight delay
in producing the steam, should it be needed for the cooking stage. The water is emptied from
the boiler (at regular intervals) even when the oven is working.

Extraordinary cleaning (decalcification) for the boiler
The innovative design of the boiler (with the heating element on the outside and not
immersed in the water), the washing and rinsing cycle that is systematically repeated each time
the oven is turned on and the fact that softened water is used (hardness between 0.5°F and
5°F) all aid in drastically slowing down the formation of lime scale inside.
However, to get the best performance from the boiler, we recommend decalcification at least
every 6 months (for ease, this can be done at the end of the working day).
Proceed as follows (Fig. 4):
-
Turn the oven OFF (green led alight) and let it cool down;
-
unscrew the threaded plug “A” on the top of the oven, taking care the seal “B” does
not fall;

-
use a funnel to pour the descaling liquid into the hole (an amount of 500 ml = 0.5 litres
is sufficient), avoiding pouring it over the steel surface (vinegar for food use is ideal – it
does not contain any corrosive substances for stainless steel, it is an effective limescale
remover and is compatible with food use);
-
screw the threaded plug firmly in place so that the seal guarantees it is perfectly
watertight;
-
leave the limescale remover liquid to work for at least 8-9 hours (or overnight);
