Steel usage rules: cleaning and care
NO YES
DO NOT use abrasive
products, sharp objects, steel wool, knives, etc. to remove hardened remains of food on the cooktop, pan supports, burners or electrical cooktops.
If your cooktop has a glass panel, DO NOT use a knife, scraper or any similar device to clean the joint where it meets the metal.
DO NOT use steam cleaning machines on the cooktop, as they could damage it.
DO NOT leave acidic liquids (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the cooktop.
Once the appliance has cooled, clean it with a sponge, soap and water.
Remove all spilt liquids immediately. This will save unnecessary efforts.
To keep the burners and pan supports clean, they must be regularly cleaned, submerging them in soapy water and scrubbing them with a
After cleaning and drying the burners, ensure that the lids are properly placed atop the burner flame diffuser.
If the appliance has Monoblock burners, en- sure that they are perfect- ly dry before their next use.
Due to the high temperatures that the ring lid of your triple flame burner, and stainless steel areas such as the grease splash tray and the outer perimeter of the burners, etc. must withstand, they will become discoloured over time. This is NORMAL. Clean them after every use using products appropriate for stainless steel.
After washing the grates, dry them completely before cooking with them again. The
presence of water droplets or wet areas at the beginning of cooking can cause possible points of enamel deterioration.
If the grates of your cooktop have rubber pads, use precaution when cleaning them, as they could come off, leaving the grate unprotected and leading to scratching of the cooktop.
Stainless steel cleaning products should not be used in the area surrounding the control knobs. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.
