Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off and disconnect power to the appliance.
General information
The main causes for stainless steel wear or corrosion are:
• using abrasive or acid detergents, especially chlorine-based products such as hy-
drochloric acid or sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Therefore, before buying a deter-
gent, make sure that it won’t cause stainless steel corrosion (see also paragraph
below);
• stagnation of ferrous deposits (such as those created by rust dissolved in the water
flowing through the piping, especially after the appliance has remained idle for
some time). Therefore, avoid such stagnation; do not use wire wool pads to remove
the most stubborn food residues. Use, rather, pads or spatulas made of stainless
steel or softer, non-ferrous materials;
• When cleaning, do not use abrasive pads as they can scratch the glass-ceramic sur-
face.
• stagnation of substances having acid components such as vinegar, lemon juice,
sauces, salt, etc. Therefore, prevent prolonged contact of these substances with the
stainless steel parts of the appliance. The evaporation of saline solutions over the
surfaces of the appliance is particularly harmful to them.
Routine cleaning
Cleaning the appliance thoroughly every day will keep it in perfect condition and increase
its lifetime. Clean the appliance with a damp cloth using water and soap or detergents,
provided that they are not acid or abrasive as discussed further above. Such detergents
should not even be used to wash the floor near the appliance, as their fumes may deposit
on the steel surfaces and damage them. If the appliance is very dirty, use a synthetic
Scotch Brite™ type sponge. Rinse it off with clean water and wipe it dry with a clean
cloth. Do not rub the appliance with steel wool pads as they could leave rust stains. For
the same reason, avoid touching the appliance with ferrous objects.
Never use direct water jets to clean the appliance because this could result in water enter-
ing into it and damaging it.
When cleaning, do not use abrasive pads as they can scratch the glass-ceramic surface.
Stains and abrasions on the steel surface
Scratches and dark stains may be smoothed or removed using stainless steel wool pads or
synthetic abrasive sponges, which should always be rubbed in the same direction as the
satin finish.
