Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance should be carried out after the appliance has turned cold especially when cleaning
the enameled parts. Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.
Avoid using acid or chlorine-based cleaning products.
To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely indispensable that the appliance be
cleaned carefully and thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the following:
ENAMELLED PARTS, All of the enameled parts must be washed only with a sponge and soapy water or
with non-abrasive products
BURNERS AND GRIDS These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products. After
cleaning the burners and their flame distributors must be well dried and correctly replaced. It is very
important to check that the burner flame distributor F and the cap Chas been correctly positioned ( fig. 1)
-failure to do so can cause serious problems. Check that the electrode “S”(fig.1) is always clean to ensure
trouble-free sparking. Check that the probe”T”(fig.1) is always clean to ensure correct operation of the
safety valves (for models with safety device).
The electric hobs should be cleaned using a damp cloth and then rubbed with oil while still warm;
STAINLESS STEEL can be stained if it remains in contact with highly calcareous water or aggressive
detergents (containing phosphorous) for an extended period of time, it is recommended that these parts
be rinsed thoroughly with water and then dried well, It is also a good idea to clean up any spills;
Note: regular use could cause discoloring around the burners due to high flame temperature.
Both the probe and ignition plug must be very carefully cleaned
●GAS TAPS
