6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and performance of your FORNO Galiano range.

6.1 Cooktop Cleaning

• Cast Iron Grates: Allow grates to cool completely. Remove them and wash with warm, soapy water. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive scrubber. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
• Burner Caps and Heads: Remove and clean with warm, soapy water. Ensure they are completely dry before reassembling.
• Enamel Surface: Wipe with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.

6.2 Oven Cleaning

• Oven Interior: For light spills, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent once the oven has cooled. For heavier soil, use an oven cleaner specifically designed for enameled surfaces, following the product instructions.
• Glass Layers: Clean the interior and exterior glass with a glass cleaner or warm, soapy water.
• Oven Racks: Remove racks and wash with warm, soapy water. For baked-on residue, soak in hot soapy water before scrubbing.

Wipe stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner or mild soapy water. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent streaking.
