Cleaning the cooking hob parts
9.4.1 Pan stands
Remove the pan stands and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive
detergent, making sure to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and
return them to the hob.
Continuous contact between the pan stands and the flame can cause
modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a
completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this
component.
Do no wash these parts in a dishwasher.
9.4.2 Burner caps and flame-spreader crowns
The burner caps and flame-spreader crowns can be
removed for easier cleaning. Wash them in warm water and
non-abrasive detergent making sure to remove any
encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry.
Replace the flame-spreader crowns, making sure that they
are correctly in place with their respective burner caps and
ensuring that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned
with the igniters and thermocouples.
Do no wash these parts in a dishwasher.
9.4.3 Igniters and thermocouples
For correct operation, the igniters and thermocouples must
always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry
residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.
Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
