CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE APPLIANCE
Cleaning
ATTENTION! Before doing any cleaning, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from
the electric mains. During cleaning operations, avoid using direct or high pressure sprays of
water on the appliance. Cleaning must be done when the appliance is cold.
Steel parts can be cleaned with warm water and neutral detergent, using a cloth. The detergent
should be suitable for cleaning stainless steel and should not contain abrasive or corrosive
substances. Do not use ordinary steel wool or anything similar, as this can deposit rust-forming iron
particles, and avoid contact of iron objects with the stainless steel. It is also unadvisable to use
sandpaper or emery paper. Pumice powder should only be used for heavily encrusted dirt; however,
a synthetic abrasive sponge or stainless steel wool used in the direction of the glazed finish would
be preferable. After washing, dry the appliance with a soft cloth.
When cleaning, abrasive powders of any type, chlorine-based detergents and bleach should all be
avoided. Also avoid pouring cold liquids on appliances while they are hot, or cracks could form
which could cause the appliance to become deformed or broken.
Stainless steel parts should not be exposed to prolonged contact with concentrated acid substances
(e.g. vinegar, condiments, spice mixtures, concentrated kitchen salt...), as they can create chemical
and physical conditions that damage the passivation of the steel. It is therefore advisable to remove
these substances using clean water.
If the appliance is out of use for a long time, it is advisable to disconnect the main electricity supply
and wipe all stainless steel surfaces with a cloth soaked in Vaseline oil in order to give it a
protective film and air the rooms now and again.
ATTENTION: Never use substances, detergents and other solutions containing chlorine or its by-
products.
In order to remove any possible scale-marks, do not use products containing salt or sulphuric acid;
suitable products are to be found in the market or, alternatively, a solution diluted in acetic acid can
be used.
While cleaning the appliance, do not use inflammable liquids.
Maintenance
ATTENTION! Before doing any kind of maintenance or repairs, make sure that the
appliance is disconnected from the electric mains.
The following maintenance operations have to be carried out at least once a year by specialised
personnel. It is advisable to have a maintenance contract:
 Check the correct functioning of all control and safety devices;
 Check the condition of the power cable.
