CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE APPLIANCE
Cleaning
ATTENTION! Before doing any cleaning, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from
the electric mains and that the gas cut-off valve is closed. During cleaning operations, avoid
using direct or high pressure sprays of water on the appliance. Cleaning has to 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.
The stainless steel should not be exposed to prolonged contact with concentrated acidic substances
(vinegar, condiments, spice mixtures, concentrated kitchen salt...) as these can create chemical and
physical conditions that damage the passivation of the steel; it is therefore advisable to remove
these substances using clean water.
For cleaning open rings, remove the pan support grills, the drip pan, the gas ring, the burner unit
and clean with warm water, neutral detergent and an appropriate utensil, then rinse and dry well.
Finally, put back all the components, being careful to fit them properly into place. To clean the
oven, remove the wire grill, the bottom, the top diffusor (in the electric oven), the grill holder and
clean them with warm water, neutral detergent and an appropriate utensil, rinse and dry well.
Finally, put back all the components, being careful to fit them properly into place.
The glass ceramic is cleaned in exactly the same way as any glass surface. Do not use corrosive or
abrasive detergents, such as oven or grill sprays, scouring pads, detergent powders or abrasive
sponges.
The glass ceramic surface should be left to cool before cleaning.
Any detergent residue must be removed from the cooking area with a wet cloth, since these can
become corrosive due to the effect of the heat.
Advice for cleaning the glass ceramic:
Type of dirty
Light dirty without any dry residue
Spots of grease (sauces, soups, oil)
Sticky dirty
Calcar and water residues
Sugar, food, plastic or aluminium crusts.
Suitable material of cleaning.
Wet tissue.
Clean with a non-abrasive detergent
Non-abrasive detergent and clean with a wet tissue
Clean off with vinegar, creamy detergent and clean
carefully with a wet tissue.
Scrape on the spot with a scraper (razor blade), clean
with a creamy detergent and than again with a wet
cloth. If the area should cool down with this kind of
dirty the glass ceramic could deteriorate.
