Cleaning and maintenance
Before each operation, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains and allow it to cool down.
General cleaning
Wash enameled parts with lukewarm water and detergent: do not use abrasive products that
might damage them.
Wash the flame caps and burner caps often with boiling water and detergent, taking care to
remove all deposits.
The hob pan stands can be washed in a dishwasher.
For stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents or specific commercial products. We
strongly advise you not to use scouring pads, steel wool or acids for cleaning.
Hob
Clean the hob regularly with a soft cloth wet with lukewarm water and a little liquid detergent. Do
not use the following products:
household detergents or bleaches
soaped scouring pads not suitable for non-stick utensils
steel wool scouring pads
stain removers for baths or sinks
If the hob gets very dirty, use specific commercial products.
Ignition plug
Automatic burner ignition is provided (when installed) by a ceramic “plug” and a metal electrode (B
in fig.1 on page 4). Periodically clean these parts of the hob thoroughly.
Furthermore, to avoid ignition difficulties, check that the cavities
in the burner are not obstructed.
To remove deposits from the burner cavities, remove the cap and
separate the two parts (see diagram on the right). After cleaning,
put the two parts back together and return them correctly to
their position. After washing, replace the hob pan stands,
checking that they are correctly positioned.
