GLASS-CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE

Before performing any cleaning operation, disconnect the unit from the electricity network and abide by the following
instructions.
We recommend you to clean the work top before it completely cools down ; first remove all residues fell during cooking with
the help of a scraper (figure 5) ; then use some drops of a specific detergent and clean the top with a cloth or with some kitchen
paper (figure 4).
Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as oven sprays, powders, stain removers or metal sponges.
Rinse the work top with water and dry it with a clean cloth or with some kitchen paper.
Warning ! !
If, inadvertently, some sugar falls onto the work top during cooking, immediately switch off the top and remove the stains
with warm water and a scraper.
Before cooking foods that contain much sugar (such as jams), we recommend to cover the cooking top with a protective
substance, in order to avoid all possible damages caused by the product that flows over the cooking tank.

END OF COOKING AND END OF DAY CLEANING

To clean the oven make use of a specific fat removing product. All oven detergents contain high amounts of caustic soda.
Alkaline products are necessary to remove more resistant stains.
Caustic soda damages the skin, the eyes and the lungs. Therefore it is advisable to protect the skin, but in particular eyes and
hands, while cleaning the oven by using rubber gloves and special glasses.
N.B.:
Follow these steps:
1)Let the oven cool down to a temperature of 60°C, remove the fat stains.
2)Clean the oven starting from the lower part with the alkaline oven detergent, which has to be diluted carefully following the
instructions on the bottle. Use the non diluted product only on extremely resistant stains. Careful: Do not use corrosive
detergents.
3)Rinse the oven and the equipment with water.
4)Strew the door gasket regularly with talcum powder, at least every 15 days.
- Clean the stainless steel parts daily with soapy lukewarm water, then rinse well and dry throughly.
- Absolutely avoid to clean the stainless steel with common steel-wool, or common steel brushes and scrapers, as they may
discard ferrous particles which, on depositing, cause rust spots. You may, if you like, use stainless steel-wool passed on
following the butter-finish direction.
- Should the unit remain unused for long periods, heavily rub all the steel surfaces with a cloth slightly wetted with vaseline
oil, in order to cover them with a protective film. Periodically ventilate the premises.
