Instructions for the User

8.Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

8.1Cleaning stainless steel

To keep the hob in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after each use, first allowing it to cool.

8.1.1Routine daily hob cleaning

When cleaning and caring for stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Instructions for use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe over the surface, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

8.1.2Food stains or spills

Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers which will damage the surface.

Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of non-scratching sponges and wooden or plastic utensils if necessary.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

8.2Cleaning the components

8.2.1The knobs

The knobs and front panel must be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in warm water and dried thoroughly. The knobs can easily be removed by pulling them outwards.

Never clean the knobs or front panel with aggressive products containing alcohol or steel or glass cleaners, since they might cause permanent damage.

8.2.2Pan stands and burners

Remove the pan stands and wash them in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all deposits. Put them back on the hob.

These components must never be washed in a dishwasher.

8.2.3The flame diffuser rings

The burner caps and flame diffuser rings can be removed for easier cleaning; wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all deposits, and wait for them to dry completely.

The burner pins A must be fitted into the recesses B in the flame diffuser ring. The holes C in the flame diffuser ring must mate with the ignition plugs and thermocouples D on the hob.

NEVER REMOVE THE FIXING RINGS TO CLEAN THE HOB.

8.2.4The plugs and thermocouples

For best performance, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must always be kept thoroughly clean. Check them frequently and if necessary clean them with a wet cloth. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.
