9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING
9.1 Cleaning stainless steel parts
NOTE: To maintain stainless steel in good condition it should be regularly cleaned after use. Let steel
parts cool first.
9.1.1 Routine Daily Cleaning
To clean and preserve 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, then rinse thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth or deerskin.
9.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic scouring pads or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface of the
appliance.
Use standard non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic scraping tool if necessary. Rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If allowed to set for
too long, they will pit the enamel lining of the oven.
9.2 Cleaning of rangetop parts
9.2.1 Grates
Remove the grates. Clean with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, removing any crusty build-up.
Replace the grates on the rangetop.
9.2.2 Burner caps, burner rings and grates
The burner caps and burner rings can be removed for easier cleaning. Wash them in hot water and with
non-abrasive detergent, ensuring that all deposits are removed, and put them aside for complete drying.
NOTE: Replace the burner caps on the burner rings, making sure that the slots A are
perfectly aligned with the projections on the burners.
Never wash these parts in the dishwasher.
9.2.3 Spark electrodes and thermocouples
For best performance, the spark electrode and the thermocouple must always be kept
very clean. Check them frequently and if necessary wipe down with a damp cloth.
Remove any burnt residue with a wooden toothpick or a straight pin or needle.
