CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Attention! During cleaning, do not wash the external parts of the appliance with direct sprays of water or with high 

pressure.

After every use, clean the appliance thoroughly. Daily cleaning after switching off the appliance ensures the perfect 

functioning and long life of the appliance.

Before starting to clean the appliance, disconnect the power supply. The parts in steel must be washed with hot 

water and neutral detergent, then rinsed thoroughly in order to eliminate all traces of detergent; after which, dried 

with a dry cloth. 

Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents.

The enamelled parts should be washed with soapy water.

After cleaning, turn the elements back correctly. 

Important: As well as ordinary cleaning and maintenance, it is advisable to have the installation checked by an 

installer at least once a year.

It is therefore suggested to draw up an after-sales assistance contract.

Cleaning burnished brass surfaces

No synthetic protective varnishes have been used to obtain the special burnishing effect on the burnished brass 

details in order to avoid spoiling the beauty of the brass with an artificial patina.  The antique finish of the surface 

is the result of natural oxidation that has simply been accelerated.  All the natural antique finish brass surfaces can 

be cleaned with any kitchen degreasing detergent, accompanied by the use of an abrasive scouring pad (the 

green colored type used for washing dishes).  It is recommended that the metal be rubbed, uniformly applying light 

pressure, until the desired effect is achieved.  

The brass details should then be dried.  

Do not use polish as this is suitable for maintaining the gloss but not the antique finish and could result in an effect 

that is not compliant with our products.  Any spots that may appear over time on the burnished brass surfaces should 

be considered as a desirable and particular characteristic of our craft metal working processes. 

Cleaning chromium-plated brass surfaces

No synthetic varnishes have been used to obtain the special polish on the chromium-plated brass details in order to 

avoid spoiling the beauty of the chromium plating with an artificial patina.  All the chromium-plated surfaces should 

be cleaned, where necessary, with a soft, possibly micro-fiber cloth, combined with metal polishing products, if 

required.  Do not use abrasive pads.

Cleaning satin finish nickel-plated brass surfaces

No synthetic varnishes have been used to obtain the special nickel-plating on the satin finish nickel-plated brass 

details in order to avoid spoiling the beauty of the nickel-plated, satin finished solid brass with an artificial patina.  All 

the nickel-plated and satin finished brass surfaces should be cleaned, where necessary, with a soft, possibly micro-

fiber cloth, combined with a neutral detergent, if required.  Do not use abrasive pads.

Cleaning the varnished surfaces

All the varnished surfaces should be cleaned using a neutral detergent and, where necessary, a soft, possibly micro-

fiber cloth.  Do not use abrasive pads or any other chemical products.

Cleaning brushed steel surfaces

All the brushed steel surfaces should be cleaned using degreasing products or products specifically designed to be 

used on steel and, where necessary, extra-fine steel wool or extra-thin sandpaper.
