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.
