8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NEVER USE A STEAM JET TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.

Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.

8.1 Cleaning

Clean the cooking top regularly every time you use it, obviously after it has cooled.

8.1.1 Regular daily cleaning of the hob

In order to clean and preserve the surface, always use specific products only, which do not contain abrasive substances or chlorine-based acid substances.

How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

8.1.2 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.

Use normal non-abrasive products and remove spots or residuals with non-scratch sponges or, if need be, with wood or plastic utensils.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

8.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components

Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be removed for ease of cleaning. Wash them in warm water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all tough spots. Before remounting, allow the components to fully dry out.

CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher.

In normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and pan-stands tend to be burnished by the high temperature. Clean these parts using very fine abrasive sponges or similar commercial products. Then use a specific paste polish to restore the steel’s shine. Your local authorised after-sales technician is able to supply professional products for appliance cleaning and care.

8.2.1 Ignition plugs and safety devices

For good functioning of the lighting ignition plugs and the safety devices, keep them very clean.

Check frequently and clean with a damp cloth when necessary.
