Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from

the electrical supply. To ensure that the appliance lasts
a long time, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keep-
ing in mind that:
•
The enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;
•
The inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm, using warm water and detergent
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
•
The flame spreaders should be washed frequently with
hot water and detergent, taking care to eliminate any
scale;
•
In cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the termi-
nal part of the electronic instant lighting devices should
be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes on the
flame spreaders should be checked to make sure they
are free of any obstructions;
•
Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (con-
taining phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended that drops of water be dried.
NB.: Avoid closing the cover while the gas burners
are still warm. Remove any liquid from the lid before
opening it.
Important: Periodically check the wear of the gas hose
and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended
changing it every year.
