CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
AND CONTROL PANEL
●
Before cleaning the cooktop switch it
off and wait for it to cool down.
●
Clean with a cloth wetted with hot
water and soap or water and liquid
detergent.
●
Do not use steel pads or products
which are abrasive, corrosive or chlo-
rine based.
●
Do not leave acid or alkaline sub-
stances (vinegar, salt, lemon juice
etc.) on the cooktop.
ENAMEL COOKTOP
●
Enamel parts must be washed with a
sponge and soapy water or other non-
abrasive products. Dry with a soft
cloth. If acid substances such as
lemon juice, tomato sauce and vine-
gar are left on the enamel for a long
time it will become stained.
STAINLESS STEEL COOKTOP
●
Clean with special products which are
available on the market.
Note: regular use could cause discolour-
ing around the electric hotplates,
because of the high temperature.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
●
Clean when the hotplate is lukewarm.
●
Clean with a cloth wetted with water
and salt and finish by rubbing with a
rag dampened with oil.
●
Do not use water, to avoid the forma-
tion of rust.
CLEANING THE GLASS
CERAMIC COOKTOP
Make sure that the cooktop is switched
off before cleaning it.
Remove any encrustation using a spe-
cial scraper which can be bought.
Remove dust with a damp cloth.
Detergents can be used, but they must
not be abrasive or corrosive.
Any remaining detergent must be com-
pletely removed with a damp cloth.
Do not put any objects on the cooktop
which can melt with heat, such as plas-
tic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or
sugar products.
If any object melts on the cooktop,
remove it immediately (while the cook-
top is still hot) using a special scraper, to
prevent any irreversible damage to the
glass ceramic surface.
Do not use knives or sharp objects
which could damage the cooktop sur-
face.
Do not use abrasive sponges or pads
which could irreversibly damage the
glass ceramic surface.
Do not use steam jet cleaners
because the humidity could infil-
trate into the appliance making it
dangerous.
