8. Cleaning and maintenance
- Do not use steam jets to clean the hob and its components.
- Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach.
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.
8.1 Cleaning the hob
To keep the hob in good condition, you should clean it after every use (after it has
cooled).
8.1.1 Regular daily cleaning of the hob
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that
do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and
dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
8.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not
use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.
Use normal, non-abrasive products for steel together with non-scratch
sponges and, if necessary, wooden or plastic utensils.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
8.2 Cleaning of components
8.2.1 Knobs
The knobs are made of stainless steel and therefore should be cleaned in the same
way as the hob.
8.2.2 Grids and burner caps (EVERSHINE treatment)
The special EVERSHINE treatment makes the polished stainless-steel burners and pan
stands highly heat resistant and prevents yellowing due to the exposure to high
temperatures. Follow the cleaning instructions below for the best results and to avoid
damaging the treatment:
1. Remove the burner cap.
2. Pull one of the two horizontal spokes of the pan stand upwards to extract it.
3. Wash these components with hot water and a
cleaner, taking care to
remove any deposits. Do not use metal pan scourers, abrasive sponges or sharp
scrapers.
4. Dry the components.
5. Replace the burner caps on their corresponding crowns; position the pan stands,
ensuring that the pins
line up with their holes on the hob, then push them down with
the palm of your hand until they click into place
.
- In case of contact with overly harsh detergents, hard water or spills (cooking
water, sauce, coffee etc.), clean the hob as soon as it has cooled.
- Never wash in the dishwasher
8.2.3 Flame cap crowns
The flame cap crowns are removable. Wash them with hot water and non-abrasive
detergent. Be careful to remove all deposits.
When you replace them, make sure that they are completely dry and inserted correctly
in their housings (see Section “7 Using the hob ”).
8.2.4 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.
