Cleaning and maintenance:
If the coating on the electric plates has worn off through use, smear them with a few drops of
oil or one of the maintenance products available on the market.
The high temperatures suffered by the cover on the triple-flame burner ring and the stainless
steel parts on your hob (plate rings, grease trays, area around burners, etc) may become
discoloured over time. This is NORMAL. Clean them after use with a product suitable for stainless
steel.
After washing the pans support, dry them thoroughly before cooking with them again. The
presence of droplets of water or dampness at the beginning of the cooking process may damage
the enamel surface.
If the pans support on your hob are supplied with rubber feet, be careful when cleaning as they
may come off, leaving the pan support unprotected and scratching the hob surface.
The cleaning product suitable for stainless steel must not be used in the area surrounding the
control knobs. The indications (serigraphy) may get deleted.
DON'Ts DOs
Never use abrasive
products, sharp objects,
steel scouring pads,
knives, etc., to remove
stubborn food remains
from the hob surface,
pans support, burners or
electric plates.
Do not use steam
appliances to clean the
hob with. They could
damage it.
Do not allow acid
products (vinegar, lemon
juice, etc.) to come into
contact with the hob.
Try to prevent salt from
coming into contact with
the surface of the
electric plate.
The burners and pans
support must be
cleaned regularly to
keep them clean. This is
done by submerging
them in soapy water and
scrubbing them with a
non-metal brush to keep
the holes and slits free
from obstruction so they
can give a perfect flame.
Dry the burner covers
whenever wet or damp.
Remove all excess liquid
immediately. This will
help you avoid
unnecessary effort later.
After cleaning and drying
the burners, make sure
that the covers are
properly in position on the
flame diffuser.
Once the appliance is
cold, clean it with a
sponge and soapy
water.
Remove all excess
liquid immediately. This
will help you avoid
unnecessary effort later.
If your hob comes with
a glass or aluminium
panel, do not use
knives, scrapers or
similar utensils to clean
the join with the metal.
