. harsh abrasives, scouring pads or sharp object to clean the hob.
• GENERAL MAINTENANCE
THE HOB
Simply clean the surface using non-abrasive products. If you clean the surface when it is
hot, you may tarnish it.
THE KNOBS
For thorough cleaning, the control knobs can be removed by pulling them upwards. Clean
exclusively with soapy water and dry well before replacing them.
THE HOT PLATE
Heat it for a while if necessary, to burn the deposits. After switching off and cooling
down of the plate, wipe it with an absorbing paper. In any cases, it is important to protect
the hot plate from humidity.
Do not use abrasive products.
To maintain and preserve the appearance, rub a drop of neutral oil, such as sewing
machine oil into the surface of the hot plate.
The hot plate should always be dry, or slightly greasy, if it is not to be used for some time.
Remove any rust using emery paper followed by a suitable commercially available
product.
