Instructions for the user

11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing any operations, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Do not use a steam jet for cleaning the inside of the oven.
11.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after every use
of the cooker, after it has cooled.
11.2 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.
11.3 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic 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.
11.4 Cleaning the cooking hob parts
11.4.1 The glass lid (present on some models only)
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
11.4.2 Racks
Remove the racks and clean them with warm 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.
