CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

 

GENERAL RECOMANDATION

✓Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the hob is switched off.

It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and espe- cially when cleaning the enamelled parts.

✓All enamelled surfaces have to be washed with soapy water or some other non-abrasive product with a sponge and are to be dried preferably with a soft cloth.

✓Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vine- gar etc.) on the surfaces.

ENAMELLED PARTS

✓All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other non-abrasive products.

✓Dry preferably with a chamois leather.

If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.

VITROCERAMIC HOB

Before cleaning the top, make sure that it is switched off.

Remove any encrustation using a special scraper which can be bought (fig. 5.1).

Remove dust using a damp cloth.

Detergents can be used as long as they are not abrasive or cor- rosive.

All residues of detergent must be eliminated with a damp cloth.

Keep all objects that could be melted by the heat away from the top: plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or sugary products. If an object melts on the top, remove immediately (while the top is still hot) using the special scraper to avoid permanent damage to the pyroceram surface.

Avoid using knives and pointed objects as they could damage the surface of the top.

Also avoid using abrasive sponges or wire wool which can per- manently scratch the pyroceram surface.

STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS

✓Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth or with a chamois leather.

✓For difficult dirt, usea specific non-abrasive product available commercially or a little hot vinegar.

✓Note: regular use could cause discolouring around the burners, because of the high flame temperature.

CONTROL KNOB

✓The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken not to damage the seal.

GLASS LID (optional)

Electric plates and gas models

✓Do not close the glass lid when the electrical plates are still hot and when the oven, installed below the cooking hob is on or still hot.

✓Do not rest hot pans or heavy objects on the cooker lid.

✓Remove any spillages from the surface of the lid before open- ing.

GAS TAPS

✓In the event of operating faults in the gas taps, call the Service Department.

CLEANING ELECTRIC HOTPLATES

✓Always clean when the hotplate is tepid.

✓Use a soft cloth, dampened with water, and a little salt. To finish off, use a soft cloth with a little oil.

✓Do not use water, to avoid the formation of rust.

Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects.

Do not use the cooktop as a work surface.

Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could infiltrate into the appliance making it dangerous.
