How to Keep Your Cooktop in Shape
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your appli-
ance, disconnect it from the electrical power supply.
To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely indis-
pensable that it be cleaned carefully and thoroughly
on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the following:
•
The enamelled parts and the glass top, if present, must
be washed with warm water without using abrasive pow-
ders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;
•
The electric hobs should be cleaned using a damp cloth
and then rubbed with oil while still warm;
•
Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact
with highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents
(containing phosphorous) for an extended period of time.
It is recommended that these parts be rinsed thoroughly
with water and then dried well. It is also a good idea to
clean up any spills;
Congratualtions on choosing an Ariston appliance, which you will find is dependable and easy to use. We recommend
that you read this manual for best performance and to extend the life of your appliance. Thank you.
