GENERAL ADVICE
✓
Before you begin cleaning you
must ensure that the hob is
switched off.
✓
It is advisable to clean when the appli-
ance is cold and especially when
cleaning the enamelled parts.
✓
All enamelled surfaces have to be
washed with soapy water or some
other non-abrasive product with a
sponge and are to be dried preferably
with a soft cloth.
✓
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 tempera-
ture.
CLEANING ELECTRIC HOT-
PLATES
✓
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.
✓
Do not use water, to avoid the forma-
tion of rust.
Do not use steam jet cleaners
because the humidity could
infiltrate into the appliance making
it dangerous.
