8.2Cleaning of cooking hob components

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.

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. In fact, humidity residues inside the burner holes might impair burner operation.

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.

8.2.2 The cover

Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never use abrasive sponges or detergents.

Attention: the glass lid may break if overheated. Make sure that all the burners are switched off and let them cool down before lovering the lid.

After cleaning, the appliance must be dried thoroughly since detergent and water drips might damage its operation and appearance.
