MAINTENANCE DIARY
CLEANING TIME SCHEDULE
1 Combustion chamber Every use
2 Cooking oor Every use
3 Oven outside Weekly
4 Stainless-steel parts Weekly
5 Steel protection Monthly
6 Burner Monthly
7 Nozzles Yearly
8 Rust spots Biennially
1. Clean the combustion chamber.
Pyrolysis 500°C (1 000°F). The Alfa ovens clean themselves
thanks to a process called pyrolysis (pyro “re” + lysis
“separating”). It is a procedure that uses very high heat
to decompose organic materials and to transform them
into volatile compounds. To activate pyrolysis we suggest
you keep the temperature at 500°C (1 000°F) for 2-3
minutes. Do not clean the Combustion Chamber with
abrasive sponges and acidic or basic solvents which could
compromise the integrity of the oven.
2. Clean the cooking oor. Once the pyrolysis is nished,
wait for the oven to cool down and remove any food
residues with the help of a brush and a damp cloth. You
should clean your oven oor after each use.
3. Clean the oven outside. Like all stainless and powder-
coat products, Alfa ovens are built to withstand adverse
weather conditions including salt air corrosion as long
as punctual and effective maintenance is ensured. To
clean stainless steel, use a soft cloth soaked in a solution
of water and soap or alternatively with baking soda and
dish detergent. Rub gently when the oven is completely
cold. Use neutral, neither acidic nor basic solutions and
always do the operation with the oven cold
IMPORTANT: always check the certication of the
product you use and that the components are those
declared.
ATTENTION: Steels subjected to high temperatures and
direct ames tend to change color on the surface.
This is an inherent feature of the material.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
4. Clean the stainless-steel parts
ALFA ovens are made with stainless-steel outside and
inside. To clean these parts, we recommend that you
use a stainless-steel cleaner. Please carefully read the
warnings and the instructions. Do not use detergents
containing acids, white spirit or xylene. Rinse well after
cleaning the oven.
5. Protect stainless steel. To better protect the stainless
steel parts, we suggest using vaseline oil or other neutral
cleaning solutions (pH 7) that do not contain acids, white
spirit or xylene. Use soft, non-abrasive cloth to apply.
In the case of beachfront installations to avoid salty air
corrosion and white thin layers, clean the oven often with
fresh water.
6. Gas burner
The gas burner must be cleaned from time to time by
removing food residues with the help of a brush. When
cleaning valves and burners, be careful not to damage
the burner and not to enlarge the holes.
7. Clean the nozzles at least once a year to prevent them
from clogging thus reducing the gas ow (contact
qualied persons).
8. Remove rust spots. Stainless steel is rust-proof but in
some cases (humidity, salty air, sea spray…) some rust
stains might appear. Use a rust remover to make your
oven shiny and new once again.
COVER THE OVEN
- Do not forget to use the Alfa cover
to protect your oven.
