11.5 Cleaning the igniter plugs and thermocouples
In order for the igniter plugs and thermocouples to operate correctly, they
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.
11.6 Cleaning the fry-top / steak grill
Any grease deposits on the fry-top/steak grill can be eliminated more easily when the griddle is still
warm. If necessary, leave it to cool and soak for a few minutes. Finally, clean with warm salted
water, dry with a tea cloth or kitchen roll.
After each use, the vitroceramic surface V underneath the fry-top/steak grill should also be
cleaned. Any residue of meat or grease can be removed by proceeding as follows:
x remove the fry-top/steak grill from its housing;
x turn the knob to position 11;
x after approximately 20-30 minutes, even the
toughest residue can easily be cleaned off the
vitroceramic surface with a wooden spatula;
x switch off the heating and leave to cool, then
clean the vitroceramic surface V with specific
products;
x dry thoroughly and return the fry-top/steak grill
to its working position.
11.7 Cleaning the vitroceramic hob
The vitroceramic hob must be cleaned regularly, each time it is used if possible, when the latent
heat lights are off.
Any light-coloured marks caused by aluminium-based pans can be removed with a damp cloth
dipped in vinegar.
Any burnt residue left after cooking can be removed with a wooden spatula. Rinse with water and
dry well with a clean cloth.
Do not under any circumstances use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products,
oven sprays, stain-removers or metallic sponges).
Any grease deposits on the vitroceramic hob
can be removed 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 with water and dry well
with a clean cloth.
In the event that aluminium or plastic marks, sugar or food containing sugar melt on the cooking
surface, remove immediately while the surface is still warm with a wooden spatula. This will
prevent any damage to the surface.
The cooking surface of the vitroceramic 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.
Warning! If any crack should appear on the hob, isolate the cooker from the main supply
and do not use the appliance to avoid electrocution. Call Customer Services immediately.
