How to Keep Your Cooktop in Shape
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power
supply.
To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely indispensable that it be cleaned carefully and
thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the following:
●
Cleaning alloy burners on a gas hob: Wash the alloy burners in warm soapy water - they should
never be soaked with other metal parts, as electrolysis will occur and they will be permanently
blackened. For stubborn stains use a cream cleaner.
●
Cleaning pan supports and burner caps: These should be washed in hot soapy water. For stubborn
marks, soak or treat with a cream cleaner and brush or a green scourer. Do not put in the dishwasher,
as this may cause rusting and won't remove carbonised stains (i.e. burnt-on fat).
●
Cleaning enameled parts on a gas hob (if present): These should be washed with warm water without
using abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;
●
On cooktops with automatic ignition, the end of the electronic ignition device must be cleaned
carefully and frequently, making sure that the gas holes are not clogged;
●
Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with highly calcareous water or aggressive
detergents (containing phosphorous) for an extended period of time. It is recommended that these
parts be rinsed thoroughly with water and then dried well. It is also a good idea to clean up any spills;
●
Before using the ceramic glass module, the surface must be cleaned, using a damp cloth to remove
dust or food residues. The ceramic glass surface should be cleaned regularly with a solution of warm
water and a non-abrasive detergent. Periodically, special products will need to be used to clean the
surface. First, remove all food buildup or grease with a cleaning scraper, e.g.
CERA
(not supplied) (Fig. 1).
Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a suitable cleaning product and paper towels. Then
rub with a damp cloth and dry. Aluminum foil, plastic items, objects made of synthetic material, sugar or
foods with a high sugar content that have melted onto the surface must be removed
immediately
with a
scraper while the cooking surface is still hot. Special cleaning products for ceramic glass surfaces form a
transparent protective layer which fights dirty buildup. This also protects the surface from damage caused
by food with high sugar content. Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning products under any
