Instructions for the user

8.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components

Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be removed for ease of cleaning. Wash them in warm water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all tough spots. Before remounting, allow the components to fully dry out.

CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher.

In normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and pan-stands tend to be burnished by the high temperature. Clean these parts using very fine abrasive sponges or similar commercial products. Then use a specific paste polish to restore the steel’s shine. Your local authorised after-sales technician is able to supply professional products for appliance cleaning and care.

8.2.1 Ignition plugs and safety devices

For good functioning of the lighting ignition plugs and the safety devices, keep them very clean.

Check frequently and clean with a damp cloth when necessary.

8.2.2 The electric element

After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the electric element must be treated with specific cleaning products which are available on the market. This necessary operation prevents oxidisation (rust formation).

8.2.3 The cover

Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never use abrasive sponges or detergents. To clean the rear part of the cooktop, remove the cover by lifting out.

When finished cleaning, refit the cover making sure to insert it correctly. Before lifting up the cover, dry out properly.

Never lower the cover when burners or electric elements are on or still hot.
