Cleaning and Maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.
General cleaning
Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners.
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth weel
wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.
Pan supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
Ignition candle
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"candle" and a metal electrode (Fig.1-2 lett. C). Keep
these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting,
and check that the burner crown holes are not
obstructed.
Cleaning of the hotplates
Spills on the hotplates should be removed using warm
water and a soft cloth.
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a
kitchen towel (while the plates are still warm).
Periodic Maintenance
Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
adjuster, if fitted.
To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety
features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically
lubricated.
