CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the cooktop, when it is cool, after each use to prevent
the build-up of dirt.
• Use a clean cloth, absorbent kitchen wipes and liquid detergent.
• Do not use abrasive, corrosive or chlorine based products, or
pan scourers.
• Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, salt
or lemon juice on the surface.
Enamelled cooktop
• Enamelled parts must be washed with a sponge and soapy
water or other non-abrasive products.
• Dry with a soft cloth. If acid substances such as lemon juice,
tomato sauce, vinegar, etc. are left on the enamel for a long
time they will etch it, making it opaque.
Stainless steel cooktop
• 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 or a
little hot vinegar.
• N.B.: Regular use could cause discolouring around the
burners, because of the high temperature.
Cleaning the burners and the grids
• Burners and grids can be removed and washed with suitable
products.
• After cleaning, dry carefully and reposition into their seats.
• In models with a safety valve, make sure that the sensor near
each burner remains clean.
• In appliances with electric ignition, make sure that the
electrode remains clean so that the sparks can strike
properly. The spark plugs must be cleaned very carefully.
• N.B.: To avoid damaging the electric ignition, do not use the
cooktop when the burners are not in place.
Gas taps
• The gas taps should be cleaned regularly by a qualified
technician only.
• If the gas taps are not working correctly, call After-Sales
Service.
Correct position of the burners
• It is very important to check the perfect positioning of the
burner spreader (F) and burner cap (C) (see figure) because if
they are moved out of their seats, serious problems might
occur.
• Make sure that the (S) electrode is always clean so that the
sparks can strike.
• In models with a safety valve, make sure that the sensor (T)
near each burner is always clean so that the safety valve can
be adjusted properly. Both the sensor and the spark plug
must be cleaned carefully.
Triple crown burner
• This burner must be correctly positioned (see figure), making
sure that the ribs enter their housing as indicated by the arrow.
• If the burner is correctly positioned it will not turn.
• Correctly position cap (A) and ring (B) in their housing.
