Cleaning of cooking hob components
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.
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. In fact, humidity residues
inside the burner holes might impair burner operation.
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 cover
Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water.
Never use abrasive sponges or detergents.
Attention: the glass lid may break if overheated. Make sure that all the
burners are switched off and let them cool down before lovering the lid.
After cleaning, the appliance must be dried thoroughly since detergent
and water drips might damage its operation and appearance.
