Recommendations for cleaning the hob
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
Cleaning the hob
1. Pour some non-abrasive detergent on a
damp cloth and wipe the surfaces.
2. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Cleaning the hob grids, flame-spreader
crowns and burner caps
1. Remove the components from the hob.
2. Clean with lukewarm water and non-
abrasive detergent. Make sure to
remove any encrustations.
3. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or a
microfibre cloth.
4. Replace the components on the hob.
Cleaning the igniters and thermocouples
• If necessary, clean the igniters and
thermocouples with a damp cloth.
• If there is any dry residue, remove it with
a toothpick or needle.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts
made of steel or that have metallic
surface finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickel-
or chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not wash the removable
components such as the hob grids,
flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
in a dishwasher.
We recommend the use of
cleaning products distributed by
the manufacturer.
The continuous contact between
the grids 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.
