8.2 Cleaning 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 electric element
After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the
electric element must be treated with specific cleaning products which
are available on the market. This necessary operation prevents
oxidisation (rust formation).
8.2.3 The cover
Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never
use abrasive sponges or detergents.
Never lower the cover when burners or electric elements are on or
still hot.
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.
