8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

8.1 Cleaning the glazed ceramic hob

Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.

The cooking hob should be regularly cleaned; best after every use, once the residual heat signal lamps have gone off.

Smudges from aluminium-bottom pans can be easily cleaned off with a cloth dampened in vinegar. Remove any burnt residues after cooking with the scraper provided; rinse with water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Regular use of the scraper considerably reduces the need for chemical detergents for the daily cleaning of the hob.

Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. cleaning powders, oven sprays, spot-removers, wire sponges).

8.2 Cleaning stainless steel

8.2.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

8.2.2 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.

Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.
