CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
RECOMANDATION
Before you begin cleaning you
must ensure that the hob is
switched off.
It is advisable to clean when the
appliance is cold and especially when
cleaning the enamelled parts.
All enamelled surfaces have to be
washed with soapy water or some
other non-abrasive product with a
sponge and are to be dried preferably
with a soft cloth.
Avoid leaving alkaline or acid
substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.)
on the surfaces.
ENAMELLED PARTS
All the enamelled parts must be
cleaned with a sponge and soapy
water only or other non-abrasive
products.
Dry preferably with a chamois leather.
If acid substances such as lemon
juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc.
are left on the enamel for a long time
they will etch it, making it opaque.
STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS
Stainless steel parts must be rinsed
with water and dried with a soft and
clean cloth or with a chamois
leather.
For difficult dirt, usea specific non-
abrasive product available
commercially or a little hot vinegar.
Note: regular use could cause
discolouring around the burners,
because of the high flame
temperature.
CONTROL KNOB
The control knobs may be removed
for cleaning but care should be taken
not to damage the seal.
GLASS LID
(optional for gas
and electric plates models)
Do not close the glass lid when the
gas burners or the electrical plates
are still hot and when the oven,
installed below the cooking hob is
on or still hot.
Do not rest hot pans or heavy
objects on the cooker lid.
Remove any spillages from the
surface of the lid before opening.
GAS TAPS
In the event of operating faults in
the gas taps, call the Service
Department.
