Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the
surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not wash the removable
components such as the hob grids,
flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
in a dishwasher.
We recommend the use of
cleaning products distributed by
the manufacturer.
Continuous contact between the
pan stands and the flame can
cause modifications to the enamel
over time in those parts exposed to
heat. This is a completely natural
phenomenon which has no effect
on the operation of this
component.
