10.2 Cleaning the parts of the cooking hob
Pan stands
Remove the pan stands, cleaning them with warm water and non-abrasive detergent. Make sure to remove
any encrustataion. Replace them on the cooking hob. Contact between the pan stands and the flame can
cause modifications to the enamel over time on those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural
phenonmenon and has no effect on the operation of this component.
WARNING: If using cast iron pan stands, you may find white residues on the pan stands after using pans
with aluminium bases. These residues are usually caused by the pan base rubbing against the pan stand.
While they may be a little difficult to remove, do not use excessively aggressive products to clean the pan
stand as it could damage its enamel surface.
Burner caps and flame spread crowns
For easier cleaning, the burner caps and the flame spread crowns can be
removed. Wash them with warm water and a non-abrasive detergent, making
sure to remove any encrustation. Wait until they are perfectly dry before
replacing the flame spread crowns, making sure they are correctly in place with
their respective burner caps. Make sure that the holes A in the flame-spread
are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples.
WARNING: Never wash these parts in a dishwasher. They can be left to soak with warm water and
detergent.
Igniters and thermocouples
For correct operation, the igniters and thermocouples must always be clean.
Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove
any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.
10.3 Cleaning the oven
For best oven maintainence, clean regularly after it has cooled down. Take out all removable parts, and
clean the oven racks with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.
