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.
■ Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on
the hob.
ENAMELLED PARTS
■ All the enamelled parts must be washed only with a sponge with soapy
water or other non-abrasive products.
■ Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft cloth.
STAINLESS STEEL HOB
■ Clean with special products which are available on the market.
■ Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft cloth.
■ Note: regular use will cause discolouring around the burners, because of
the high flame temperature.
BURNERS AND GRIDS
■ These pieces can be removed and washed with suitable products.
■ After cleaning burners and spreaders dry them well and replace them
correctly.
CONTROL KNOB
■ The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken
not to damage the seal.
Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could infiltrate into
the appliance making it dangerous.
