8. Cleaning and maintenance
Never use a steam jet to clean the appliance.
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.
8.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep the hob in good condition, you should clean it after every use (after it has
cooled).
8.1.1
Regular daily cleaning of the hob
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products
that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly
and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
8.1.2
Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.
Use normal, non-abrasive products for steel together with non-scratch
sponges and, if necessary, wooden or plastic utensils.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
8.2 Cleaning of components
8.2.1 Knobs
The knobs are made of stainless steel and therefore should be cleaned in the same
way as the hob.
8.2.2 Grids and burner caps
In normal use of the hob, the grids and burner caps normally get browned as a result
of the high temperature. For optimum cleaning remove the burner cap and lift up one
of the horizontal spokes of the grid to remove it from its housing. Clean these details
with a fine abrasive sponge or similar products found on the market. Then redo with
specific polish to make the steel shiny.
Reassemble the burner caps on their flame caps. When replacing the grids, make
sure that pins C are aligned with their seats on the hob, then press them in with the
palm of your hand until they lock in place.
CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher.
Your local authorised after-sales technician is able to supply professional products for
appliance cleaning and care.
8.2.3 Flame cap crowns
The flame cap crowns are removable. Wash them with hot water and non-abrasive
detergent. Be careful to remove all deposits.
When you replace them, make sure that they are completely dry and inserted correctly
in their housings (see Section “7 Using the hob ”).
8.2.4 Ignition plugs and safety devices
For good functioning of the lighting ignition plugs and the safety devices, keep them
very clean.
Check frequently and clean with a damp cloth when necessary.
