Instructions for the user
8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never use a steam jet to clean the appliance.
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the appliance.
8.1 Cleaning
Clean the cooking top regularly every time you use it, obviously after it has cooled.
8.1.1 Regular daily cleaning of the hob
In order to clean and preserve the surface, always use specific products only, which do not contain
abrasive substances or chlorine-based acid substances.
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 and remove spots or residuals with non-
scratch sponges or, if need be, with wood or plastic utensils.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
8.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components
CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher.
In normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and pan-stands tend to be burnished by
the high temperature. Clean these parts using very fine abrasive sponges or similar commercial
products. Then use a specific paste polish to restore the steel's shine. Your local authorised
after-sales technician is able to supply professional products for appliance cleaning and care.
Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be removed for ease of cleaning.
Wash them in warm water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove
all tough spots. Before remounting, allow the components to fully dry out. In fact,
humidity residues inside the burner holes might impair burner operation.
8.2.1 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.
8.2.2 The cover
Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never use abrasive sponges or
detergents.
Attention: the glass lid may break if overheated. Make sure that all the burners are switched off
and let them cool down before lovering the lid.
After cleaning, the appliance must be dried thoroughly since detergent and water drips might damage its
operation and appearance.
