CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
CATALYTIC SELF - CLEANING LINERS
The self-cleaning oven differs from the standard one in the fact that its internal surfaces are
enamelled with a special microporous material which absorbs and eliminates the greasy particles
during the cooking. In case of spillage of greasy liquids, the self-cleaning action becomes not efficient;
therefore it will be necessary to clean the oven properly. Proceed in the following way: (a) wipe a
humid sponge on the grease stains; (b) heat up the oven to the maximum temperature; (c) wait 5
minutes and then switch off the oven
;
(d) wait until the oven gets cool again; (e) wipe again the humid
sponge on all the surface. Do not use detergent in any case.
WARNING: Before cleaning the appliance, it should be disconnected from the power
supply and turn off the main gas feeder valve.
Cleaning the work surface
Periodically clean the burner heads, the enamelled steel grids, the enamelled covers and the flame
caps using warm soapy water. Then those parts should be rinsed and thoroughly dried.
Any liquid that overflows from pots must always be removed using a rag.
If it becomes difficult to open or close a valve, do not force it, but immediately request the
assistance of the technical service personnel.
Cleaning the enamelled parts
To maintain the original features of the enamelled parts they should be cleaned frequently with
soapy water. Never use abrasive powders. Do not leave acidic or alkaline substances on the
enamelled parts (vinegar, lemon juice, salt, tomato sauce, etc.) and do not wash the enamelled parts
while they are still hot.
Cleaning the STAINLESS steel parts
Clean the parts with soapy water and then dry them with a soft cloth. The shine is maintained
by periodically using special products that generally are found in the market. Never use abrasive
powders.
Cleaning the burner flame caps
Since the flame caps are resting on the burner, to clean them just remove them from their seat
and wash them with soapy water. After they have been thoroughly dried and having checked that
the holes are not clogged, they can be replaced in their proper position.
