CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To maintain your hob in perfect conditions, clean it after every use, removing any food spills.
Before any cleaning operation, disconnect the hob from the mains and wait for it to cool down.
CLEANING THE HOB SURFACE
•
All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and neutral solution.
•
Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by calcareous water or aggressive detergents if left in contact for too long. Any
food spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.
Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with
specific cleaners for stainless steel surfaces.
•
Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.
•
Do not use vapour cleaning appliances.
•
Do not use flammable products.
•
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice on the hob.
CLEANING THE HOB PARTS
•
Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.
•
Clean them by hand with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, carefully removing any food residues and checking
that none of the burner openings is clogged.
•
Rinse and dry carefully.
•
Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.
•
When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned with the burner and that the burner feet are fitted
in the respective housings on the hob surface. In the case of single grids, make sure that they fit on the burner cap
protuberance.
•
Models equipped with electrical ignition plugs and safety thermocouples require thorough cleaning of the plug end in
order to ensure correct operation. Check these items frequently, and if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Any
baked-on food should be removed with a toothpick or needle.
Note: to avoid damaging the electric ignition device, do not use it when the burners are not in their housing.
