8. HOB - CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean
base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the
surface have no effect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the
surface of the hob.
Stainless steel
• For stainless steel edges of the hob
use a special cleaner suitable for
stainless steel.
• The stainless steel edge of the plate
can change the colour as a result of
high temperature.
• Wash stainless steel parts with water,
and then dry them with a soft cloth.
8.2 Cleaning the hob
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar,
otherwise, the dirt can cause damage
to the hob. Take care to avoid burns.
• Remove when the hob is
sufficiently cool: limescale rings,
water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic
discoloration. Clean the hob with a
moist cloth and a non-abrasive
detergent. After cleaning, wipe the
hob dry with a soft cloth.
• To clean the enamelled parts, caps
and crowns, wash them with warm
soapy water and dry them carefully
before you put them back on.
8.3 Cleaning the electric
hotplate
1. Use the cleaning powder or the
cleaning pad.
2. Clean the hob with a moist cloth and
some detergent.
3. Heat the hotplate to a low
temperature and let it dry.
4. To keep the hotplates in good shape,
rub in a sewing machine oil regularly.
Polish off the oil with absorbent
paper.
8.4 Cleaning the spark plug
This feature is obtained through a
ceramic ignition candle with a metal
electrode. Keep these components well
clean to prevent difficult lighting and
check that the burner crown holes are
not obstructed.
8.5 Pan supports
The pan supports are not
resistant to washing in a
dishwasher. They must be
washed by hand.
1. Remove the pan supports to easily
clean the hob.
Be very careful when
you replace the pan
supports to prevent the
hob top from damage.
2. After you clean the pan supports,
make sure that they are in correct
positions.
3. For the burner to operate correctly,
make sure that the arms of the pan
supports are aligned with the centre
of the burner.
