CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL RECOMANDATION
• Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the hob is switched off.
• It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold.
• Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the
surfaces.
STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS
• Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth or
with a chamois leather.
• For difficult dirt, use a specific non-abrasive product available commercially or a little hot
vinegar.
• Note: regular use could cause discolouring around the burners, because of the
high flame temperature.
CONTROL KNOB
• The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken not to damage
the seal.
GAS TAPS
• In the event of operating faults in the gas taps, call the Service Department.
CLEANING ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
• Always clean when the hotplate is tepid.
• Use a soft cloth, dampened with water, and a little salt. To finish off, use a soft cloth
with a little oil.
• Do not use water, to avoid the formation of rust.
• Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could infiltrate into the appliance
making it dangerous.
BURNERS AND GRIDS
• These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate
products.
• After cleaning, the burners and their flame distributors must be
well dried and correctly replaced.
• It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor
and the cap has been correctly positioned - failure to do so can
cause serious problems.
• In appliances with electric ignition keep the electrode clean so
that the sparks always strike.
• Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when
the burners are not in place.
