CLEANING
5.1
5.1.1.
Range Exterior
Clean the exterior of the range with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse
thoroughly and dry the stainless steel components with a soft cloth.
If any stains are diffi cult to remove, we recommend that you use products
specifi cally designed for stainless steel. Test the product on a small area before
you apply it to the entire surface. Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely.
Wash the burner top frequently and make sure to remove any deposits which
could block the fl ame outlet.
Important: If you should need to remove the burners for cleaning purposes,
we recommend you make sure all parts are correctly positioned before
igniting the burners again.
To clean the cooktop, use slightly damp sponges and wiping cloths, if too much
water is used it could penetrate the cooktop and damage internal/electrical
parts.
Clean the glass parts with hot water, avoiding the use of rough cloths.
Do not use stainless steel pads or acid-based cleaners.
To prevent ignition diffi culties, carefully clean the lighting spark plugs regularly
(ceramic and electrode). If the knobs become diffi cult to turn, contact a qualifi ed
engineer to lubricate the taps. Contact a qualifi ed engineer to deal with any
other problems which may arise during use.
The cast iron grates of the cooktop are dishwasher safe.
THE GRATES OF THE COOKTOP ARE EQUIPPED WITH RUBBER FEET
GRIPS, PROVIDING BETTER STABILITY AND AVOIDING SCRATCHES ON THE
COOKTOP SURFACES DURING USAGE. AFTER REMOVING GRATES FOR
CLEANING AND/OR MAINTENANCE, WE RECOMMEND YOU MAKE SURE
THE RUBBER PADS ARE BACK IN THEIR PROPER PLACE BEFORE PUTTING
THE GRATES BACK IN THEIR CORRECT POSITION. (See fi gure on the next
page).
