8. Cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the power supply to the appliance
and close the gas tap.
Do not clean the surfaces of the appliance when they are still hot.
8.1 Cleaning stainless steel surfaces
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces and remove the toughest stains, always use
specific products, provided they do not contain chlorine-based abrasives or acid substances,
or a little warm vinegar.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the steel surface. Rinse carefully and dry with a soft
cloth or a piece of deerskin.
Do not under any circumstances use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers that may damage
the surfaces. Only use non-scratch, non-abrasive sponges and, if necessary, wooden or plastic
utensils.
8.2 Cleaning enamelled surfaces
Clean with a non-scratch, non-abrasive sponge dampened with soap and water. Grease stains
can easily be eliminated with hot water or a product specifically made for cleaning enamel. Rinse
carefully and dry with a soft cloth or a piece of deerskin.
Do not use products containing abrasives, scouring pads, steel wool or acid, which may
spoil the surfaces. Do not leave acid or alkaline substances on the enamel (lemon juice, vinegar,
salt, etc.).
8.3 Cleaning the knobs and the control panel
Clean the knobs and the control panel with a damp cloth.
8.4 Cleaning the grids and burners
To clean the grids and hob burners, remove them
from their housing by lifting them upwards as
shown in the figure, and immerse them in a
solution of warm water and non-abrasive
detergent for about ten minutes. Rinse and dry
carefully.
Always check that none of the burner openings
is clogged.
Be sure to refit the burner correctly, checking the
flame is uniform.
We recommend carrying out this operation at least
once a week and each time it is necessary.
