Instructions for the user

8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before any intervention, disconnect the appliance from the mains.

8.1 Cleaning the stainless steel

Do not use a jet of water to clean the appliance.

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly each time the hotplate is used. Let it cool first.

8.2 Routine daily cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

8.3 Food stains or residues

Under no circumstances must metallic scourers or sharp scrapers be used: they will damage the surface.

Use normal non-abrasive products, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

8.4 Cleaning the glass-ceramic surface

The glass-ceramic surface must be cleaned regularly, preferably after every use.

If burnt-on residue is present after cooking, remove it with the scraper provided, rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Regular use of the scraper significantly reduces the need to use chemical products for daily cleaning of the hotplate. Never under any circumstances use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. abrasive powders, oven sprays, stain removers or metallic scourers).

8.5 Cleaning the tray

Below the hotplate, at the front, is a steel tray designed to collect the grease and juices that are produced when cooking meat and which drain away through the hole “A”. Before cooking, it is advisable to pour some water into the tray to facilitate subsequent cleaning operations.

The tray can be removed completely by sliding it out of its runners, and washed in the dishwasher.

8.6Adjusting the clutch

Over time, the clutch mechanism installed to prevent quick or accidental closure of the lid may become slack. In this case, simply use a D4 Allen key to re-tighten the clutch mechanism on the underside of the lid.
