3.3. CLEANING AND CARE OF THE APPLIANCE
− Do not use aggressive substances or abrasive detergents when cleaning the stainless steel
components.
− Avoid using metal pads of the steel parts as they may cause rust. For the same reason avoid contact
with materials containing iron.
− Do not use sandpaper or abrasive paper for cleaning; in special cases use a powder pumice stone.
− In case of particularly resistant dirt, it is advisable to use abrasive sponges (e.g. Scotch-Brite).
− It is advisable to clean the appliance only once it has cooled down.
3.3.1. DAILY CLEANING
Warning! : When cleaning the appliance never use direct jets of water to prevent infiltration of
the liquid and damage to components.

− External surfaces should be washed down using a sponge, and hot water with a suitable proprietary
cleaner addend.
− Rinse always thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
Note for pressure kettles:
− Do not use detergents containing high percentages of ammonia and sodium to clean the lid gasket, as
these substances may cause damage and quickly affect the tightness of the gasket.
3.4. SPECIAL PROCEDURES IN CASE OF PROLONGED INACTIVITY
− If the appliance is to stand idle for any length of time (e.g. holidays or seasonal closing) it must be
cleaned thoroughly, leaving not traces of food or dirt.
− Leave the lid open so that air can circulate inside the vat.
− For added care after cleaning, the external surfaces can be protected by applying a proprietary metal
polish.
