Cleaning And Care Of The Appliance; General Cleaning - Tecnoinox PCC4E9 Manual Del Usuario

Part 3
The appliance must be cold and the electrical power turned off to clean it. Do not wash the appliance with jets of water because if water
gets into the electric components it could cause the appliance and the safety systems to malfunction! Keeping the appliance clean is very
important for a long and trouble-free working life.
The appliance must be cold and the electrical power turned off to clean it.The removable parts should be washed separately with warm
water and detergent, then rinsed in running water.
The steel parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth and with a non-
abrasive detergent and then dried by using a soft, dry cloth; for
stubborn deposits use hot water and vinegar.
Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents to clean the stainless steel
parts. Iron cleaning pads should not be used as they cause the
formation of rust. For the same reason, avoid contact with ferrous
materials.
When cleaning, avoid using abrasive paper or cloth; instead and only
in special cases you can use pumice stone powder; we recommend
using sponges (ex. Scotch) to remove stubborn deposits. You can also
use common sprays for cleaning ovens and grills to remove stubborn
deposits. If spray products are used, follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Cleaning the glass-ceramic cooktop
The pyroceramic cooktop can be cleaned using a scraper with a sharp
blade to remove the residues of food. Clean the cooktop with a
detergent, wash and dry.
To avoid damaging the cooktop remove any traces of sugar,
aluminium foil plastics immediately with the scaper; don't use
abrasive or corrosive products, the blade of the scraper must be in
contact with the cooktop along the entire length of the blade; don't
use the corner of the scraper.
Malfunctions do not always depend on the quality of the components
used. These appliances are manufactured using top quality
components. Malfunctions may be caused by voltage surges, dust
and/or dirt getting into the components.
Unauthorised persons should never attempt to repair the appliance, or carry out maintenance. Tampering with the appliance voids the
warranty!
The appliance needs no specific maintenance besides normal cleaning; we do however suggest having it checked once a year by the
assistance centre for which, we recommend drawing up a maintenance contract.
Our appliances are studied and optimised, with lab tests, to provide
high performance and yields. However, in order to reduce energy
consumption (electricity, gas and water), we suggest not using the
appliance for any length of time if it is empty or under conditions that
compromise optimum yield.
All packaging materials are environment-friendly. They can be kept
without creating problems or burnt in a waste incinerator plant. The
following plastic components can be recycled:
■
Polyethylene: external packaging material and/or pluribol film
■
Polypropylene: straps
■
Polystyrene foam: corner pieces, sheets and protection blocks

General cleaning

To minimise the emission of polluting substances in the environment
we suggest cleaning the appliance with products that are at least
90% biodegradable.
Cleaning the side panels and door of the oven
Keeping the appliance clean is very important for a long and trouble-
free working life. Be careful not to damage the thermostat sensor "K"
(pic .4) inside the oven while you are cleaning it.
As in any other case, clean the door and sides of the oven when it is
cold. To clean enamelled parts, follow the instructions relevant to
cleaning inside the oven, using hot water and non-abrasive or acid
detergents.
Malfunctions
In any case, if anomalies are noticed or suspected, turn the appliance
off and disconnect it from the mains. Call the authorised repair
service.
Maintenance
Ecology and environment
At the end of the appliance's useful life, dispose of it properly.
90% of each appliance is made of metal (stainless steel, iron,
aluminated sheet, etc.) hence it can be recycled by the relative
recycling organisations in compliance with the standards in force in
your country.

Cleaning and care of the appliance

Prepare the appliance for disposal, so it cannot be used
any more, by removing the power cable and any other
closing devices to ensure against anyone getting locked
inside.
