• 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 elimi-
nate 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 ventila-
te 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.
