CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean
base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface
have no effect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the
surface of the hob.
Stainless steel
• Wash stainless steel parts with water,
and then dry them with a soft cloth.
• To remove burnt food, fat and stubborn
stains let them soak in a small amount
of mild detergent for a few minutes
before cleaning.
• Use cleaning products designed
specifically for cleaning stainless steel
in order to protect the steel surfaces.
• Do not use cleaning products
containing corrosive chemicals such as
chlorides, do not clean the surface with
disinfectants, stain or rust removers
and immersion cleaners.
Pan supports
The pan supports are not
resistant to washing in a
dishwasher. They must be
washed by hand.
1. Remove the pan supports to easily
clean the hob.
Be very careful when you
replace the pan supports to
prevent the hob top from
damage.
2. The enamel coating occasionally can
have rough edges, so be careful when
you wash the pan supports by hand
and dry them. If necessary, remove
stubborn stains with a paste cleaner.
3. After you clean the pan supports,
make sure that they are in correct
positions.
4. For the burner to operate correctly,
make sure that the arms of the pan
supports are aligned with the centre of
the burner.
Cleaning the hob
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar,
otherwise, the dirt can cause damage
to the hob. Take care to avoid burns.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently
cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat
stains, shiny metallic discoloration.
Clean the hob with a moist cloth and a
non-abrasive detergent. After cleaning,
wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.
• To clean the enamelled parts, caps and
crowns, wash them with warm soapy
water and dry them carefully before you
put them back on.
