CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
12.1
Cleaning stainless steel and enamelled versions
To keep stainless steel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly when you are done using the
cooker, after it has cooled.
12.1.1
Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always 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 chamois leather.
12.1.2
Food stains or residues
Do not use steel sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set
for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.
12.2
Cleaning the cooking hob's parts
12.2.1
Glass lid
For easier cleaning, the lid can be extracted from its hinges.
1-
position it in the open position;
2-
unscrew the screws positioned on the back of the two hinges (indicated
by the arrows in the figure) and lift it upwards.
If liquids fall on the lid when it is closed, carefully remove them with a cloth
before opening it.
To replace the lid, insert it into the guides and tighten the fixing screws of
the hinges in the open position.
Make sure never to touch the lid glass with pots and pans that are still hot. The glass could crack
and break with the heat.
12.2.2
Racks
7
Remove the racks and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent, making sure to
remove any encrustations. Replace them on the cooking hob.
Continuous contact between the racks and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over
time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on
the operation of this component.
Warning:
If using cast iron racks (optional extra), at the end of cooking using pans with aluminium bases, you
may find white residues on the racks. These residues are usually caused by the pan base rubbing
against the rack and are difficult to remove with normal cleaning. Using abrasive or excessively
aggressive products to clean the rack could damage its enamel surface.
