CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could
reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
The appliance should be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use, after cooling down.
To avoid water marks and limescale deposits, use a soft cloth to dry surfaces that have
been cleaned with water.
Food that has boiled over can cause discolouration of the burner parts and the stainless
steel cooktop.
Remove any soiling immediately.
To avoid damaging the outer surfaces of your appliance, do not use:
cleaning agents containing soda, alkalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides
cleaning agents containing descaling agents
stain or rust removers
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners
solvent-based cleaning agents
dishwasher cleaner
grill and oven cleaners
glass cleaning agents
hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have
been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents
sharp pointed objects (these can damage the seal between the frame and the worktop).
Stainless steel
surfaces
Clean stainless steel surfaces using a microfibre cloth or with a solution of warm water and
a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. In the case of stubborn dried-on soiling,
soak first.
Finally, dry with a soft cloth.
The stainless steel cooktop cleaner can be used to clean the frame when required. Apply
with an even pressure following the direction of the "grain".
The care product for stainless steel can be used after cleaning to help keep your appliance
looking good and to hinder resoiling.
Apply sparingly with a soft cloth following the instructions on the packaging.
Printed surfaces
The printing can be damaged if soiling (e.g. food or fluids that contained salt, olive oil) is not
removed immediately.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Do not use any stainless steel cleaner on printed surfaces.
This would rub off the print.
Pan supports and
control knobs
Do not clean the pan supports in a dishwasher.
Remove the pan supports. Clean the pan supports and the control knobs with a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. Stubborn soiling
should be soaked first.
After cleaning, dry all surfaces with a clean cloth.
Burners
Do not clean any parts of the burner in a dishwasher.
The burner should be dismantled and then cleaned by hand using a solution of warm water
and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.
Parts of the burner that cannot be removed should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only.
The ignition candle and the
candle flame failure device should be very carefully wiped clean
using a well wrung out cloth.
Do not let the ignitor get wet. If it gets wet, it will not spark.
After cleaning, dry all surfaces with a clean cloth.
Make sure that the flame slits are clean and completely dry.
The surface of the burner crown cover will become more matt with time. This is quite normal
and will not affect the operation of the cooktop.
