6 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before any intervention, disconnect the appliance from the mains.

Never use a steam jet to clean the appliance.

6.1 Cleaning the stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first.

6.1.1Routine daily cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

6.1.2Food stains or residues

Under no circumstances must metallic scourers or sharp scrapers be used: they will damage the surface.

Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

6.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components

To facilitate cleaning, panstand grids, caps, flame- spreader crowns and burners are all removable; wash with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove allstubborn food residues. Wait for all parts to be fully dry before remounting. Refit the caps on the respective flame-spreader crowns, making sure that notchesA align with burner pins B .

To work well, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must always be very clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a wet cloth if necessary. Any dry residue should be removed with a toothpick or a needle.

In models equipped with pan stands, fit as shown in the figure, taking care to position them exactly as shown. Refer to the enlarged details in the figure below for guidance.
