Cleaning and maintenance
Any food which spills onto the hob must be cleaned off
immediately with a dishcloth.
The hotplates should be cleaned with soap and water when
they have cooled.
Dry the hob. Moisture may cause the hotplates to rust over
time. Wet hotplates should be dried quickly.
To protect the surface of the hotplates, treat them with oil or any
other protective product available on the market.
Stainless steel surfaces
Over time, bluish or yellowish stains may appear on the hob
and around the edges of the hotplates. Use stainless steel
cleaners.
It is recommended that the cleaning product available from our
Technical Assistance Service (code 464524) is used regularly.
Avoid using this type of product in areas with screen printed
indications. The indications could be erased.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products.
Enamel surfaces
Clean the cooking hob using a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products or scouring sponges.
This could cause the hob to lose its shine.
