and physical conditions that damage the passivation of the steel. It is therefore advisable to remove
these substances using clean water.
In particular, in order to clean the baskets and cooking vat – which are made of austenitic stainless
steel – and to maintain their features unaltered in time, the user should:
Never let them dry after use without carefully rinsing them with warm clean water;
Never pour salt directly within;
Never use any abrasive or corrosive substances and/or materials such as sponges;
When washing the appliance, pay attention to all those areas where interstices (such as welding
or connections) are: some salted water may stagnate there and this can start corrosion processes;
Never use substances, detergents and other solutions containing chlorine or its
by-products.
If the appliance is not in use for a long time, it is advisable to turn off the gas tap. Then disconnect
the main electricity supply; wipe all stainless steel surfaces with a cloth soaked in Vaseline oil in
order to give it a protective film; air the rooms now and again.
ATTENTION: Never use substances, detergents and other solutions containing chlorine or its by-
products.
In order to remove any possible scale-marks, do not use products containing salt or sulphuric acid;
suitable products are to be found in the market or, alternatively, a solution diluted in acetic acid can
be used.
While cleaning the appliance, do not use inflammable liquids.
