5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts,
switch off the power supply to the appliance.
NEVER USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.
5.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let it cool first.
5.1.1 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, 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.
5.1.2 Food stains or residues
Never use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the
surface.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of wooden
or plastic utensils if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
5.2 Cleaning the cooking hob parts
For easier cleaning the pan stands, burner caps, flame
spreader crowns and burners can all be removed; wash them
with warm water and a non-abrasive detergent making sure to
remove any encrustation, then wait until they are completely
dry. Replace the burner caps on their corresponding crowns,
making sure that the slots A are centred with the pins B on the
burners.
For correct operation, the igniters and thermocouples must
always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry residues
with a wooden toothpick or a needle.
