4.3 Cleaning the hob
Knobs
The knobs should be cleaned with a soft
cloth dampened with lukewarm water, then
dried carefully. They can be removed by
pulling them out from their housings.
Cooking hob pan support grids
Remove the pan support grids and clean
them in lukewarm water and non-abrasive
detergent. Make sure to remove any
encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and
return them to the hob.
Flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
For easier cleaning, the flame-spreader
crowns and the burner caps can be
removed. Wash them in hot water and non-
abrasive detergent. Carefully remove any
encrustation, then wait until they are
perfectly dry. Replace the flame-spreader
crowns, making sure that they are correctly
positioned in their housings with their
respective burner caps.
Igniters and thermocouples
For correct operation the igniters and
thermocouples must always be perfectly
clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a damp cloth if necessary.
Remove any dry residues with a wooden
toothpick or a needle.
Do not use aggressive products
containing alcohol or products for
cleaning steel and glass when
cleaning the knobs, as these
products could cause permanent
damage.
The continuous contact between
the pan supports and the flame
can cause modifications to the
enamel over time in those parts
exposed to heat. This is a
completely natural phenomenon
which has no effect on the
operation of this component.
