Care and Maintenance
Before any cleaning and/or maintenance
operation, disconnect the hob from power
supply and wait until it is cold.
To keep the hob in perfect condition, remove
any food residuals and clean it after every use.
Hob cleaning:
- Clean the surfaces of the hob with
lukewarm water and/or neutral detergent
rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or
shammy leather.
- Prolonged contact with hard water or
aggressive detergents could corrode or stain
the stainless steel surfaces; detergents
containing chlorine and/or chlorine
composites, ammoniac or that are highly acidic
will cause irreparable damage to the hob.
Before any kind of use, we advise you read the
product label to check if a product is suitable.
- Do allow acid or alkaline substances, such as
vinegar, mustard, salt or lemon juice to come into
contact with the hob for extended periods.
- It is advisable to immediately wipe any spills
(water, sauce, coffee, etc.).
- Do not use abrasive products and pan scourers.
- Do not use steam cleaners.
- Do not use flammable products.
- All enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned
with warm water and/or a neutral detergent.
Care and maintenance of the gas burners
The pan supports and burners can be removed
to make cleaning easier.
1. Hand wash carefully in hot water with a mild
detergent making sure that all the ingrained
dirt is removed and the openings on the
burner are not blocked. The internal burner
cap (D), on page 13 is made of brass and is
subject to a natural burnishing when it heats
up. Clean it each time you use it with a
product specifically designed for brass. Use
hot water and a mild detergent to clean the
wok burner external cap (item (C) on page
13). Never use harsh products, or scourers
that will damage the special surface
coverings.
2. Rinse and dry carefully.
3. Correctly refit the burners and caps in their
place.
4. Make sure that when replacing the pan supports,
the pan support is located correctly for each
burner.
Note: Hobs fitted with electronic ignition and
thermocouples must have the ends of the igniters
and thermocouples cleaned regularly and
frequently in order to operate. Please clean them
very carefully with a damp cloth. Any remaining
ingrained food should be removed carefully with a
toothpick, or similar.
To avoid damaging the electronic ignition only
operate with the burners and pan supports
correctly in place.
