9.8 Cleaning the igniter plugs and thermocouples
In order for the igniter plugs and thermocouples to operate correctly, they must
be kept clean at all times. Check them frequently and, if necessary, clean them
with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Any dry residue should be removed with a
toothpick or needle, taking care not to damage the insulating ceramic part.
9.9 Cleaning the induction hob
The induction hob requires no special maintenance or cleaning. If burned-on
food residues remain near the cooking zone after cooking, remove them using a
scratch-resistant scraper, rinse with water and dry well with a dry cloth. Regular
use of the scraper avoids the use of chemical cleaning products. Before moving
or sliding pans onto the hob, ensure that there are no crumbs or impurities
that may cause scratches. Do not use abrasive sponges or detergents. Avoid
using aggressive chemical products, such as oven cleaning sprays, stain-proof
products or other products such as bathroom or all-purpose cleaners.

Take care that the hot glass ceramic hob does not come into
contact with plastic, aluminium foil, sugar or food containing sugar.
These substances can damage the surface of the hob and should
be removed immediately using a scratch-resistant scraper. Before
cooking sugary foods, it is advisable to treat the glass ceramic surface
with a specific silicone-based product to protect the hob surface from
any burned-on food residue.
To clean the surface of the glass ceramic hob, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the larger incrustations and more stubborn residues using a
scratch-resistant scraper or a special sponge designed for delicate surfaces.
2. Wait for the hob surface to cool down completely, pour a few drops of
detergent and rub with kitchen roll or a clean cloth. Alternatively, use a
special sponge designed for delicate surfaces.
3. Wipe over the hob surface with a damp cloth, or with the dry side of a
special sponge.
