Cleaning and Maintenance
General Tips
–
Before cleaning the hob switch it off and wait for it to cool down.
–
Clean with a cloth, hot water and soap or liquid detergent.
–
Do not use products which are abrasive, corrosive or chlorine based.
–
Do not use steel pads.
–
Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
–
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.)
on the hob.
–
Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
WARNING: When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requi-
–
rements laid down for this type of product category. However special care should be taken around
the underneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and may
contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.
Glass Surface
–
Remove spillages and other types of incrustations by using only specific products which do not
contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
–
If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive or scouring
powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
–
All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
–
Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
–
Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as possible.
–
If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove. This is especially true
in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could permanently damage the surface of the hob if
left to burn on it.
–
Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the glass surface.
–
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface permanently.
–
Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mix-
tures etc.
Enamelled Parts
–
All the enamelled parts must be washed only with a sponge with soapy water or other non-abra-
sive products.
–
Dry preferably with a soft cloth. If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar
etc. are left on the enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (Some Models Only)
–
Stainless steel parts should be rinsed with water and dried with a microfibre or soft cloth.
–
For persistent dirt, use specific non-abrasive products available commercially or a little hot vinegar.
–
Note: regular use will cause discolouring around the burners, because of the high flame tempe-
rature.
Gas Taps
–
Regular lubrication of the gas taps must only be performed by specialised engineers.
–
If the gas taps are not working properly call the After-Sales Service.
Control Knobs
•
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken not to damage the seal.
CAUTION:
Do not use harsh
abrasive
cleaners
or sharp metal scra-
pers to clean the
glass since they can
scratch the surface,
which may result
in shattering of the
glass.
