11.5 Cleaning the cooking hob parts
11.5.1Glass lid (on some models only)
For easier cleaning, the lid can be extracted from its
hinges.
1
position it in the open position;
2
unscrew the screws positioned on the back of the two
hinges (indicated by the arrows in the figure) and lift it
upwards.
If liquids fall on the lid when it is closed, carefully
remove them with a cloth before opening it.
To replace the lid, insert it into the guides and tighten the
fixing screws of the hinges in the open position.
Make sure never to touch the lid glass with pots and pans that are still hot. The
glass could crack and break with the heat.
11.5.2 Racks
Remove the racks and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive
detergent, making sure to remove any encrustations. Replace them on the
cooking hob.
Continuous contact between the racks 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.
Warning:
If using cast iron racks (optional, not supplied), at the end of cooking using pans
with aluminium bases, you may find white residues on the racks. These residues
are usually caused by the pan base rubbing against the rack and are difficult to
remove with normal cleaning. Using abrasive or excessively aggressive
products to clean the rack could damage its enamel surface.
11.5.3 Burner caps and flame-spreader crowns
For easier cleaning, the flame-spreader crowns can
be removed; wash them with warm water and a non-
abrasive detergent, making sure to remove any
encrustations, and wait until they are
perfectly dry
.
WARNING: never wash these parts in a dishwasher.
They can be left to soak in warm water and
detergent.
