Care and Cleaning
Troubleshooting
Before calling service for assistance, check through the
following list, there may be nothing wrong.
Nothing works.
Check to make sure that:
•
the mains wall switch is switched on.
Poor results.
•
best results are obtained by pre-heating the lava rock
on setting 1, for at least 10 minutes.
If, despite all of these checks, the appliance does not function
properly and problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see
KEY CONTACTS, back page), informing them of:
- The type of problem.
- The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as
indicated on the warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the
manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are not
original.
The steel and/or painted parts must be cleaned using suitable
products which are neither abrasive nor corrosive.
Avoid products based on chlorine (bleach etc.).
Avoid leaving acids or alkalis on the work surface (vinegar,
salt, lemon juice etc.).
Wipe the control knobs with a soft cloth wrung out in warm
soapy water, or mild non-abrasive. Then, after wiping with
a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
