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
•
Clean with warm water and/or neutral detergents. Rinse and dry the hob surface carefully with a soft or leather cloth.
•
The stainless steel surface may become stained or corroded when prolonged exposure to abrasive pads, detergents
containing chlorine (or its compounds), ammonia or high acidic substances. Prior to first use, consult the cleaning
product label to access full suitability.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with acid and alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt sugar or lemon juice.
•
Any food spills, such as water, sauce, coffee, should be promptly wiped dry.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
•
Do not use steam cleaners

Do not use flammable products

The enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and/or a neutral detergent.
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.
