CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE COOKTOP AND
CONTROL PANEL
x
Before cleaning the cooktop switch it off and wait
for it to cool down.
x
Clean with a cloth wetted with hot water and soap
or water and liquid detergent.
x
Do not use steel pads or products which are
abrasive, corrosive or chlorine based.
x
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (vinegar,
salt, lemon juice etc.) on the cooktop.
ENAMEL COOKTOP
x
Enamel parts must be washed with a sponge and
soapy water or other non-abrasive products. Dry
with a soft cloth. If acid substances such as lemon
juice, tomato sauce and vinegar are left on the
enamel for a long time it will become stained.
STAINLESS STEEL COOKTOP
x
Clean with special products which are available on
the market.
Note:
regular use could cause discolouring around the
electric hotplates, because of the high temperature.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
x
Clean when the hotplate is lukewarm.
x
Clean with a cloth wetted with water and salt and
finish by rubbing with a rag dampened with oil.
x
Do not use water, to avoid the formation of rust.
CLEANING THE GLASS CERAMIC
COOKTOP
Make sure that the cooktop is switched off before
cleaning it.
Remove any encrustation using a special scraper which
can be bought.
Remove dust with a damp cloth.
Detergents can be used, but they must not be abrasive
or corrosive.
Any remaining detergent must be completely removed
with a damp cloth.
Do not put any objects on the cooktop which can melt
with heat, such as plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar
or sugar products.
If any object melts on the cooktop, remove it
immediately (while the cooktop is still hot) using a
special scraper, to prevent any irreversible damage to
the glass ceramic surface.
Do not use knives or sharp objects which could
damage the cooktop surface.
Do not use abrasive sponges or pads which could
irreversibly damage the glass ceramic surface.
Do not use steam jet cleaners because the
humidity could infiltrate into the appliance
making it dangerous.
