CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
always disconnect the appliance from the gas
and electricity mains before carrying out any
cleaning operation.
3) COOKTOP
Periodically wash the cooktop, pan support, the
enamelled burner caps “C” and the burner heads
“T” (see fig. 8 and 8/A) with lukewarm soapy
water. It must also be cleaned the spark plugs
(AC) and flame detection (TC).
Clean them gently with a small nylon brush as
shown (see small (8/B) and dry well.
Following this, all parts should be thoroughly
rinsed and dried. Never wash them while they are
still warm and never use abrasive powders.
Do not allow vinegar, coffee, milk, salted water,
lemon or tomato juice from remaining in contact
with the enamelled surfaces for long periods of
time.
WARNINGS:
comply with the following instructions, before
remounting the parts:
- check that burner head slots “T” (fig. 8/A)
have not become clogged by foreign bodies.
- Check that enamelled burner cap “A-B-C”
(fig. 8-8/A) have correctly positioned on the
burner head. It must be steady.
- The exact position of the pan support is
established by the rounded corners, which
should be set towards the side edge of the
cooktop.
- Do not force the taps if they are difficult open
or close. Contact the technical assistance
service for repairs.
- Don’t use steam jets for the equipment
cleaning.
COOKTOP WITH ELECTRIC HEATING
ELEMENTS
If you want to preserve the surface clean and
bright, we recommend you to use a silicone
conditioner. The use of this conditioners, prior to
jam-making, helps to protect the surface of the
hob.
It is very important to clean the surface soon after
every use, when the glass is still tepid.
Do not use metallic sponges, powder abrasives or
corrosive sprays.
Depending on the dirty level we recommend:
- slights stains: it is enought the use of a moist
clean rag.
- Burnt or soiling may be removed with a special
razor scraper (fig. A);
be aware that the razor
can cause wounds.
- Marks of liquid, overflowed from the pot, can be
removed using vinegar or lemon.
-
Pay attention to not let fall sugar or element
with sugar. In this case turn the switch off
and clean the surface with hot water and the
razor blade scraper.
- After a period of time may appear metal reflex
and scratches (fig. B) due to the wrong cleaning
and the wrong use of the pots. The scratches are
difficultly removable, but they do not compromise
the good working of the hob.
- Don’t use steam jets for the equipment cleaning.
Note:
continuous use could cause the burners to
change colour due to the high temperature.
