Instructions for the user 9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device. 9.1 Cleaning the stainless steel NOTE: To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first. 9.1.1 Regular Daily Cleaning To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin. 9.1.2 Food stains or residues Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface. Use normal non-abrasive products for cleaning stainless steel, and a wooden or plastic 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 left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven. 9.2 Cleaning of cooktop components 9.2.1 Racks Extract the racks. Clean with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove incrustation. Replace the racks on the cooktop. 9.2.2 Burner caps, flame cap crowns and burners The burner caps and flame diffuser rings can be removed for easier cleaning; wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all deposits, and wait for them to dry completely. NOTE: Replace the burner caps on their rings, making sure that the holes A are perfectly centered with the circular projections on the burners. Never wash these components in the dishwasher. 9.2.3 The plugs and thermocouples For best performance, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must always be kept very clean. Check them frequently and if necessary clean them with a wet cloth. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle. 24
