CLEANING
FIG. 6
IMPORTANT:
always disconnect the appliance from the gas
and electricity mains before carrying out any
cleaning operation.
2) HOT PLATE
Periodically wash the hot plate, the enamelled steel
pan support, the enamelled burner caps “C” and the
burner heads “T” (see fig. 6) with lukewarm soapy
water. Following this, all parts should be thoroughly
rinsed and dried. Never wash them while they are
still warm and never use abrasive powders. Do not
allow vinegar, coffee, milk, salted water, lemon or
tomato juice from remaining in contact with the
enamelled surfaces for long periods of time.
WARNINGS:
comply with the following instructions, before
remounting the parts:
- check that burner head slots “T” (fig. 6) have
not become clogged by foreign bodies.
- Check that enamelled burner cap “C” (fig. 6)
have correctly positioned on the burner head.
It must be steady.
- The exact position of the pan support is
established by the rounded corners, which
should be set towards the side edge of the hot
plate.
- Do not force the taps if they are difficult to
open or close. Contact the technical
assistance service for repairs.
- Don’t use steam jets for cleaning the cooktop.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
To optimize the appearance and up keep of
stainless steel:
1) ALWAYS keep stainless steel out of contact from
acid/acid based solvent (liquid or vapour form).
2) After installation, wipe clean all stainless steel
products with a soft damp cloth to remove any
traces of dirt (e.g. cement dust) or condensation
marks.
In the event where persistent marks appear:
immediately clean affected areas with stainless
steel cleaner, using a clean damp soft cloth.
Ensure surface is rinsed and thoroughly clean of all
marks and stainless steel cleaner.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This cooktop should not require ongoing
maintenance provided you ensure:
- all spillages are cleaned up as soon as they occur.
- Burners are kept clean.
- Burner ports are free of debris, food or anything
else that may cause an obstruction.
- Electrode and thermocouples are kept clean.
- Burners are re-assembled correctly.
- Do not get water in the area where the injectors
are located.
Note:
continuous use could cause the burners to
change colour due to the high temperature.
