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 which 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 also be washed in a dishwasher.
For stubborn dirt, use
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). Periodically clean
these parts of the hob thoroughly. In addition, 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 co-
rrectly to their position. After washing,
replace the hob pan stands, checking
that they are correctly positioned.
