8.5 Cleaning the igniter plugs and thermocouples
In order for the igniter plugs and thermocouples to operate correctly, th ey
must be kept clean at all times. Check them frequently and, if necessary,
clean them with a damp cloth. Any dry residue should be removed with a
toothpick or needle, taking care not to damage the insulating ceramic part.
8.6 Cleaning the ceramic hob
The ceramic hob must be cleaned regularly, each time it is used if pos sible, when the latent heat
lights are off.
Any light-coloured marks caused by aluminium-based pans can be rem oved with a damp cloth
dipped in vinegar.
Any burnt residue left after cooking can be removed with a wooden spat ula. Rinse with water and
dry well with a clean cloth.
Do not under any circumstances use abrasive or corrosive deter gents (e.g. powder products,
oven sprays, stain-removers or metallic sponges).
Any grease deposits on the ceramic hob can be rem oved more easily by heating it for
approximately 20-30 minutes (knob in position 11). Afterwards, this residue can be cleaned off
with a wooden spatula. Allow the surface to cool, rinse wit h water and dry well with a clean cloth.
The cooking surface of the ceramic hob is extremely resistant. It is not however unbreakable and
may be damaged, above all by pointed or hard objects if dropped onto it with a certain force. Do
not use the ceramic hob if the surface is broken, cracked or split! Contact your local Service
Force Centre immediately.
8.7 Cleaning the oven
Clean the oven regularly, each time it is used if possible, after leaving it to cool: in this way it is
possible to remove any residue more easily, preventing it from burning the next time the oven is
used.
Clean the stainless steel parts and enamelled parts as des cribed in the corresponding sections “8.1
Cleaning stainless steel surfaces” and “8.2 Cleaning enam elled surfaces”.
Take out all the removable parts and wash them separately. Rinse and dry thorough ly with a clean
cloth.
8.7.1 Cleaning the oven door
We recommend always keeping the oven door clean. Use kitchen r oll and on tougher dirt use a
damp cloth and household detergent.
Spray products for cleaning the oven must not be used to clean the fan and the thermostat
sensor inside the oven compartment.
