GENERAL ADVICE
✓
Before you begin cleaning you
must ensure that the hob is
switched off.
It is advisable to clean when the
appliance is cold.
✓ Avoid leaving alkaline or acid sub-
stances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on
the surfaces.
ENAMELLED PARTS
✓ All the enamelled parts must be
cleaned with a sponge and soapy
water only or other non-abrasive
products.
✓
Dry preferably with a chamois leather.
If acid substances such as lemon
juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc.
are left on the enamel for a long time
they will etch it, making it opaque.
STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS
✓ Stainless steel parts must be rinsed
with water and dried with a soft and
clean cloth or with a chamois leather.
✓ For persistent dirt, use specific non-
abrasive products available commer-
cially or a little hot vinegar.
✓
Note: regular use could cause dis-
colouring around the burners,
because of the high flame temper-
ature.
CONTROL KNOB
✓
The control knobs may be removed
for cleaning but care should be taken
not to damage the seal.
GAS TAPS
✓
In the event of operating faults in
the gas taps, call the Service
Department.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
✓ Always clean when the hotplate is
tepid.
✓
Use a soft cloth, dampened with
water, and a little salt. To finish off,
use a soft cloth with a little oil.
