Cooktops
clean the stainless steel cooktop
surface after each use with a clean
cloth and normal detergent. Make
sure the detergent does not contain
chloride or any chloride compound. For
persistent stains use warm vinegar or a
non-abrasive cleaner.
To make cleaning easier always
wipe spills when they occur, do not
leave them to dry as this makes
cleaning harder.
Trivets
Trivets should only be cleaned once
they have cooled, to stop grazing from
occurring. To clean trivets wash in
sink with warm soapy water then dry
immediately using a clean dry cloth.
do not use anything too abrasive such
as a chrome detergent as this may
cause damage.
The alkaline of dishwashing detergents
could damage the trivets. If you choose
to wash the trivets in the dishwasher
we recommend you use a hot rinse
mode with no detergent.
Enameled trivets may over a period of
time discolour, this is due to exposure
to a naked flame which may burn the
enamel edge off the tips of trivets.
This will not affect the performance of
the cooktop.
To remove surface staining use any
cooking oil and a fine brush or scourer,
lightly oiling trivets will also help in
keeping their new appearance.
Burner caps
The burner caps sit on the brass
burners. To clean, remove and wash
in warm water. Burner caps should
not be put into cold water immediately
after use, as grazing will occur, always
allow caps to cool before cleaning.
ILVE recommends you remove the
burner caps when cooking to increase
longevity as they are only cosmetic.
Brass burners
The brass burners will tarnish to a
brown colour with use. To clean simply
scrub with Quickleen S (Available
online, see page 23) or soak in white
vinegar for two hours to remove food
splatter.
Aluminium skirts
The aluminium skirt from the base of
the burner may be washed in warm
soapy water using a gentle scouring
pad to remove any burnt on food
splatter. A commercial product such as
Autosol, which is designed for cleaning
aluminium, can be used following
makers’ instructions. do not put skirts
in the dishwasher as this may cause
the aluminium to discolour. You can
also use Quickleen S (available at all
ILVE Showrooms or shop.ilve.com.au).
Stainless steel
Stainless steel can be cleaned using
the ILVE cleaning cloth available from
ILVE or a range of commercial products
and stainless steel cleaners. Follow
makers’ instructions, taking care when
cleaning around the graphics. When
cleaning, be sure to follow the grain of
the stainless steel as much as possible.
never use abrasive products on the
stainless steel as it will scratch the
stainless steel.
Tepanyaki plate
Allow the tepanyaki plate to cool
slightly and pour on white vinegar.
Allow to sit for five minutes then
scrape the plate with a flat spatula.
For heavy build up a scourer may be
required. Quickleen S is recommended
as a great cleaning solution (Available
online, see page 23).
Ceran cooktops
The flat surface of the ceran makes
it easy to maintain. All cleaning must
occur when the cooktop is cold. When
cold use a soft damp cloth to wipe
over the cooktop and then dry gently.
For a more precise clean a specialty
cleaning product may be purchased
from an outlet, never use abrasive
products.
Take care not to drop substances
containing sugar on the hob, if this
does happen clean with warm water
immediately before the glass cools.
Oven light replacement
replacement globes are available from
the ILVE service department. When
changing over the lamp always switch
off the power first. unscrew the glass
cover over the globe by twisting it
anticlockwise. If glass cover is hard
to unscrew, heat oven slightly, as
this will heat any fat that might be
congealed around the glass, and
unscrew using a cloth.
remove existing globe and fit new
bulb, refit the glass cover and switch
on the power.
nOTE: The light may be difficult to
remove over time. Try using Multi-grips
being sure nOT to break the bulb.
Rangehoods
rangehood filters need to be washed
regularly by using warm soapy water
and drying using a soft dry cloth.
There are various commercial products
available, which also may be used,
following manufacturers’ directions
for use.
cleaning filters in the dishwasher
The heavy alkaline of dishwashing
detergents could damage filters. If
you choose to wash the filters in the
dishwasher we recommend you use a
hot rinse mode with no detergent.
Quickleen r is recommended as a
great cleaning solution (Available
online, see page 23).
