Turn the element on briefly to ensure it is totally dry.
When using sponges or a moist cloth to clean the tops, remember that excess
water can damage the electric elements.
Clean hard stains using non abrasive detergents, special products that can be
found in the supermarkets, or warm vinegar.
After the element has been cleaned and dried, apply solid hotplate protector
(available in the supermarkets) or a light coat of cooking oil to the element.
Important Notice
After use, a discolouration of the stainless steel hot plate rims is to be
expected and cannot be avoided. This does not affect the operation of the
cooktop.
Failure to correctly clean and maintain these elements may result in rusting
and pitting of the elements. Damage to the elements caused by incorrect
maintenance is not covered under warranty.
