This article covers maintenance and cleaning of the AMALFI by Boretti.
Important:
NEVER leave the oven outside without covering it. Rainwater could collect in the oven, the frame or on the stones. Important: Parts sealed by the manufacturer or his agent shall not be manipulated by the user; No modifications should be made to any part of this oven.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents on the oven. These can scratch and damage the surface. Use lukewarm water in combination with a soft sponge or cloth to clean the outer metal parts of the oven body. Clean any food remnants on the stones with a pizza oven brush.
Ventilation
The burner can only function properly if the heat they produce can escape as well. If this is not possible, then the burner may not get enough oxygen, which may cause backfiring, especially if the burners are set to "HIGH". If this happens regularly, it may cause the burner to develop cracks. For this reason, there are ventilation openings around the oven. These allow the hot air to escape. Never cover the ventilation openings or chimney with aluminium foil or other materials that can impede the airflow.
Replacing the gas hose
The gas hose should be replaced every two years. Rubber gas hoses can dry out which may result in gas leaks.
Burner
The burner must periodically be removed for inspection and cleaning, in particular after a period of non-use/storage. The burner must be checked for its general condition and to ensure that the openings are not blocked. The burners can be cleaned with the use of a soft brush when oven is off and completely cooled down.
Spiders and insects
Spiders and insects can make their nest inside the burner of the oven, which may cause gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a dangerous situation that can cause a fire behind the operation panel. This will damage the oven, which will then no longer be safe to use. Therefore, we recommend that you check the oven at least once a year for spiders, insects and nests (particularly after long storage periods). You can do this by dismantling the burner tubes and blowing through them or brushing them clean.
