CLEANING THE HOB SURFACE

WARNING Disconnect power before servicing.

•All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and neutral solution.

•Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by calcareous water or aggressive detergents if left in contact for too long. Any food spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.

•Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with specific cleaners for stainless steel surfaces.

NOTE: clean stainless steel only with soft cloth or sponge.

•Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.

•Do not use steam cleaning appliances.

•Do not use flammable products.

•Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice on the hob.

CLEANING THE HOB PARTS

•Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.

•Clean them by hand with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, removing any food residues and checking that none of the burner openings is clogged.

•Rinse and dry

•Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.

•When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned with the burner.

•Models equipped with electrical ignition plugs and safety device require thorough cleaning of the plug end in order to ensure correct operation. Check these items frequently, and if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Any baked-on food should be removed with a toothpick or needle.

NOTE: to avoid damaging the electric ignition device, do not use it when the burners are not in their housing.
