Periods of non-use

If the appliance is not going to be used for some time, take the
following precautions:
• close the water supply tap(s), if present;
• close the gas valves;
• disconnect the power supply or remove the plug from the
power socket, if present;
• clean the cabinet, going over all the stainless steel surfaces
vigorously with a rag moistened with paraffin oil to create a
protective film;
• leave the door or drawers, if present, open so that air can
circulate inside, preventing the formation of unpleasant
odours;
• for the electric heated models: switch on the appliance at
the minimum rate of heat for at least 45 minutes; this will
allow moisture/humidity accumulated into the heating
elements to evaporate without damaging the elements;
• periodically air the premises.
H.5

External parts

SATIN-FINISH STEEL SURFACES (daily)
• Clean all steel surfaces: dirt is easily removed when it has
just formed.
• Remove grime, fat and other cooking residuals from steel
surfaces when cool using soapy water, with or without
detergent, and a cloth or sponge.
Dry the surfaces thoroughly after cleaning.
• In case of encrusted grime, fat or food residuals, go over
with a cloth or sponge, wipe in the direction of the satin
finish and rinse often:
Rubbing in a circular motion combined with the particles of
dirt on the cloth/sponge could spoil the steel's satin finish.

Every 10 years
• Metal objects can spoil or damage the steel: damaged
surfaces become dirty more easily and are more subject to
corrosion.
• Restore the satin finish if necessary.
SURFACES BLACKENED BY HEAT (when necessary)
• Exposure to high temperatures can cause the formation of
dark marks.
These do not constitute damage and can be removed by
following the instructions given in the previous section.

Other surfaces

SURFACES IN MILD STEEL OR CAST IRON (daily)
• Remove dirt using a damp cloth or, in the event of
encrustations, the accessories (optional or supplied) speci-
fied in the list;
• After cleaning, switch the appliance on to dry the surface
quickly;
• Then protect the surface with a light film of cooking oil.
Use the accessories (optional or supplied) specified in the list
