10 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The power supply upstream of the appliance must always be
cut off before starting and cleaning or maintenance operation.
• To cut down the discharge of polluting agents into the
environment, use only cleaning products that are more than 90%
biodegradable.
• Put the appliance through a general periodic checkout (at least
once a year). Have a qualified technician check, at least every
six months, check the efficiency of the safety devices and the lid
balancing system.
• Clean the steel parts with warm soapy water daily, then rinse
freely and dry properly. Use a nylon brush to clean off any
stubborn material.
• For a proper hygiene of the appliance, clean the emptying spout
often.
• When the pot is not being used, it is a good practice to leave the
emptying spout open in order to avoid water pooling in the draining
duct.
• Avoid absolutely any continuous or even occasional contact of
the appliance with ferrous materials which could initiate corrosion.
For this reason, use only kitchen utensils (ladles, blades, spoons,
etc.) made of stainless steel.
For the same reason, avoid cleaning the stainless-steel surfaces
with steel wool, brushes or scrapers of normal steel. If necessary,
the appliance can be cleaned with stainless-steel wool rubbed
lightly in the same direction as the satin finish. Add the salt only
when the water is boiling, and eliminate any food residues
immediately after the end of each cooking process.
Never use coarse table salt, because, as it dissolves very slowly,
it could have a corrosive action on the bottom of the tank. Use
fine kitchen salt (with particle sizes of less than 3 mm). If fine salt
is not available, dissolve the coarse salt first in warm water in a
separate container.
• If the appliance is to be left idle for long periods, rub all the steel
surfaces briskly with a cloth moistened with Vaseline oil so as to
leave a protective coating on the metal. Also ventilate the
operating environment at frequent intervals.
• When the pan is not being used, keep the lid open.
• Once a year, drain the jacket completely through the bottom drain
cap.
• Check frequently the level of the fluid in the hydraulic central
unit.
• Keep the safety valves clean at all times of any food residue that
could clog the vent duct.

11 - IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

• Never wash the appliance with direct or high pressure water
jets because any water reaching the internal components
could affect the proper operation and safety of the appliance.
• Do not use products containing chlorine (bleach,
hydrochloric acid, etc.), even in diluted form, to clean the
steel surfaces.
• Do not use corrosive products (e.g., acids) to clean the floor
under the appliance.
• Do not alter in any way the aeration capacity required for
gas combustion.
• The appliance is made up more than 90% of metal materials
(stainless steel, aluminized steel, copper); these materials
can be recycled through the conventional recycling facilities,
in compliance with the applicable standards in each country.
• The appliance to be scrapped must be made unworkable.
Also remove the lid, to avoid the possibility of anyone
remaining accidentally locked inside the tank.
