CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
3
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.
√ 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 leavinq 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, use a specific non-abrasive product available commer-
cially or a little hot vinegar.
√ Note: regular use could cause discolouring around the burners, because
of the high flame temperature.
CONTROL KNOBS
√ The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken
not to damage/remove the seal fitted below the knobs.
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 and the cap
has been correctly positioned - failure to do so can cause serious problems.
√ In appliances with electric ignition keep the electrode clean so that the
sparks always strike.
√ Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the
burners are not in place.
GAS VALVES
√ In the event of operating faults in the gas valves call the Service Depart-
ment.
Do not use steam jet cleaners
because the humidity could
infiltrate into the appliance
making it dangerous.
