Cleaning of cooking hob components
Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be
removed for ease of cleaning. Wash them in warm
water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care
to remove all tough spots. Before remounting, allow
the components
to fully dry out
.
CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher.
In normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and pan-stands
tend to be burnished by the high temperature. Clean these parts using
very fine abrasive sponges or similar commercial products. Then use a
specific paste polish to restore the steel’s shine. Your local authorised
after-sales technician is able to supply professional products for
appliance cleaning and care.
8.2.1
Ignition plugs and safety devices
For good functioning of the lighting ignition plugs and the safety devices,
keep them very clean.
Check frequently and clean with a damp cloth when necessary.
8.2.2
The electric element
After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the
electric element must be treated with specific cleaning products which
are available on the market. This necessary operation prevents
oxidisation (rust formation).
8.2.3
The cover
Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never
use abrasive sponges or detergents. To clean the rear part of the
cooktop, remove the cover by lifting out.
When finished cleaning, refit the cover making sure to insert it correctly.
Before lifting up the cover, dry out properly.
Never lower the cover when burners or electric elements are on or
still hot.
