Cleaning and maintenance
During cooking processes involving fats or oils, watch your foods carefully
because these substances may catch fire if brought to high temperatures.
Before each operation, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains and allow
it to cool down.
General cleaning
Wash enamelled parts with lukewarm water and detergent; do not use abrasive
products which might damage them.
Wash the flame caps and burner caps often with boiling water and detergent, taking
care to remove all deposits.
The hob pan stands can also be washed in a dishwasher.
For stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents or specific commercial products.
We strongly advise you not to use scouring pads, steel wool or acids for cleaning.
Hob
Clean the hob regularly with a soft cloth wet with lukewarm water and a little liquid
detergent.Do not use the following products:
- household detergents or bleaches;
- soaped scouring pads not suitable for non-stick utensils;
- steel wool scouring pads;
- stain removers for baths or sinks.
If the hob gets very dirty, use specific commercial products.
Electric hotplates
After use, for a good conservation, the hotplate must be slighty greased by means of
a cloth soaked with oil, so that the surface remains always clean and bright.
This avoid the eventual formation of rust too.
GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE
To clean the work-top, you must follow the same precautions you use to clean the
glasses of your house. Soft stains caused by aluminium pans bottoms can be removed
by means of vinegar.
Make sure that sugar does not fall on the work-top during cooking, if it falls disconnect
the relevant hotplate, and clean as soon as possible with hot water, before it gets
cold.
In case there are stains of burnt sugar or similars after cooking, clean them using a
spatule or a razor before the cooking zone becomes cold (see picture).
