4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

- Do not use steam jets to clean the cooktop and its components.
- Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach.

NOTE: 

 Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply to the device.

4.1 How to clean Stainless Steel

  WARNING

BURN HAZARD

You must wait until the cooktop has completely cooled down before
starting any cleaning operation.

4.1.1 Regular cleaning of the cooktop

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use 

only 

specific products that do not contain

abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

To keep the cooktop in good condition, it would be ideal to clean it after every use.

How to use

: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft

cloth or deerskin.

4.1.2 Food stains or residue

Never use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers, as 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.

4.2 Cleaning the components

4.2.1 Knobs

The knobs are made of stainless steel and therefore should be cleaned as indicated for 

the cooktop.

4.2.2 Pan stands 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 from its seat.
3 Wash these components with hot water and a non-abrasive 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 C line up with their holes on the cooktop, 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 cooktop  as soon as it has cooled.
- Never wash in the dishwasher
