Cleaning the Gas Cooktop
Before cleaning the cooktop, make sure all burners are “OFF” and that the appliance is cooled
down. To keep the stainless steel in a good condition, it must be cleaned regularly after each use.
The stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances. If any stainless steel has difficult to remove stains, use cleaners
specifically recommended to clean stainless steel. After cleaning any surface, it is advisable to
rinse thoroughly and dry.
Wash the burner caps and head/skirts often with hot water and detergent, taking care to remove
all residues. Ensure that the burner ports in the heat/skirts are clear and not blocked by water or
detergent. The pan trivets can be washed in the dishwasher. For stubborn dirt, use standard non-
abrasive detergents or specific commercial products. We strongly advise you not to use any
scouring type pads, steel wool or acid for cleaning.
Cleaning the Front Panels
To clean the front panels, use hot soapy water. Use of abrasive cleaners, powders, pads, etc will
remove the printed graphics prematurely.
Cleaning the Ignition Candle
Automatic burner ignition is provided by a ceramic “candle” (E) and a metal electrode. Periodically
clean these parts of the cooktop thoroughly. To avoid ignition difficulties, check that the cavities in
the burner are not obstructed (B). To remove deposits in the burner, remove the burner caps (A).
After cleaning, put the burner heads and caps back together and put them correctly in their
position. After washing, replace the pan trivets, checking that they are correctly positioned (see
pictures below).
