8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before any intervention, disconnect the appliance from the mains.
8.1
Cleaning the stainless steel
Do not use a jet of water to clean the appliance.
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly each time the hotplate is used.
Let it cool first.
8.2
Routine daily cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain
abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
Use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or
chamois leather.
8.3
Food stains or residues
Under no circumstances must metallic scourers or sharp scrapers be used: they will damage
the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary. Rinse thoroughly
and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
8.4
Cleaning the glass-ceramic surface
The glass-ceramic surface must be cleaned regularly, preferably after every use.
If burnt-on residue is present after cooking, remove it with the scraper
provided, rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Regular use
of the scraper significantly reduces the need to use chemical products for daily
cleaning of the hotplate. Never under any circumstances use abrasive or
corrosive detergents (e.g. abrasive powders, oven sprays, stain removers or
metallic scourers).
8.5
Cleaning the tray
Below the hotplate, at the front, is a steel tray designed to collect the grease
and juices that are produced when cooking meat and which drain away
through the hole “A”. Before cooking, it is advisable to pour some water into
the tray to facilitate subsequent cleaning operations.
The tray can be removed completely by sliding it out of its runners, and
washed in the dishwasher.
8.6
Adjusting the clutch
Over time, the clutch mechanism installed to prevent quick or accidental
closure of the lid may become slack. In this case, simply use a D4 Allen key to
re-tighten the clutch mechanism on the underside of the lid.
