CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE APPLIANCE
Cleaning
ATTENTION! Before doing any cleaning, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from
the electric mains and that the gas cutoff valve is closed. During cleaning operations, avoid
using direct or high pressure sprays of water on the appliance. Cleaning must be done when

The parts in steel can be cleaned with warm water and neutral detergent, using a cloth; the detergent
must be suitable for cleaning stainless steel and must not contain abrasive or corrosive substances.
Do not use common steel wool or anything similar which, depositing iron particles, could cause rust
from it. It is also better to avoid using sandpaper or emery paper. Only in the event of encrusted dirt,
pumice stone in powder may be used but an abrasive synthetic sponge or stainless steel wool would
be preferable, to be used in the direction of the grain. After washing, dry with a soft cloth.
If the appliance is out of use for a long time, it is advisable to turn off the gas tap. Then disconnect
the main electricity supply and wipe all stainless steel surfaces with a cloth soaked in vaseline oil in
order to give it a protective film and air the rooms now and again.
