CAsT IRON COOkINg PLATE AND RINgs
IMPORTANT: to avoid rust DO NOT forget pots or pans on the cold cooking plate. This would create rust rings, unpleasant to see
and difficult to remove.
The cast iron cooking plate and the cast iron rings needs to be periodically cleaned by using sandpaper (grain 150) without
touching the enamelled parts..
To carry out the cleaning operation remove the smoke outlet spigot and the smoke pipe. The smoke compartment can be cleaned from the
front side of the oven (see chap. CLEANING SMOKE COMPARTMENT COOKERS) or from the top. In this case remove the cast iron rings and the
cooking plate, as well the smoke outlet spigot and the smoke pipe. The cleaning can be carried out by using a brush and a hoover.
(Where existing STANLESS STEEL frame) Once you have placed the cast iron cooking plate, make sure to have always 3 mm in-between the
cooking plate and the STAINLESS STEEL frame. This gap is important because of the thermal expansions and to avoid chromatic changes
of the STAINLESS STEEL frame when hot.
ATTENTION: once the cleaning operations are terminated all the parts have to be re-assembled hermetically.
MAINTENANCE OF THE OVEN (WHERE EXIsTINg)
To avoid the possible forming of rust it is recommended:
- To let the steam getting out of the oven to reduce the formation of any condensation by opening the door briefly and carefully (1 or 2
times, or more often in case of cooking food very humid and with longer cooking times);
- Remove the food from the oven once cooked. Letting the food to chill in the oven at a temperature below 150 °C results in the forming of
condensation;
- After cooking, leave the oven door partially open to dry out any condensation;
- In case humidity formed inside the oven, we suggest you to treat with neutral vaseline the inside part of the cast iron door (where existing).
- Repeat the treatment with the neutral vaseline on the inside part of the cast iron door every 3-6 months, depending of the frequency of
the use of the oven;
- In case of presence of rust on the inside part of the cast iron door, remove the rust by using abrasive material and then treat the cast iron
surface with neutral vaseline.
In order to ensure the quality of the foods that are cooked in the oven, the internal parts of the cast iron doors have NOT been treated with any
product.
CLEANINg OF THE COLLECTION CAsINg COOkINg THROUgH THE OVEN

To this purpose remove the circles of the cooking plate and disassemble the smokes pipe from the exhaust small trunk. Cleaning can be made
with a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: please verify that the deflectors are set as indicated in the Picture.
Pay ATTENTION that after cleaning all dismounted parts are reinstalled hermetically.
sUMMER sTOP
After cleaning the hearth, chimney and hood, totally eliminating the ash and other eventual residues, close all the doors of the hearth and
the relevant registers; in case you disconnect the appliance from the chimney you must close its openings in order to let work others possible
appliances connected to the same flue.
We suggest performing the cleaning operation of the flue at least once per year; verifying in the meantime the actual status of the rope seals,
which cannot ensure the good operation of the equipment if they are not in good condition and are not making a good seal! In this case the
seals must be replaced.
In presence of dampness in the room where the product has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent salts into the hearth.
If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the cooker it is important to protect its internal walls in row cast iron with neutral
Vaseline.
