2. Cleaning and Maintenance
•
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.
GENERAL CLEANING
Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
Carefully wash the stainless steel components with
water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
The electric ignition of the burners is obtained through
a ceramic "candle" and a metal electrode (fig. 1 lett. C).
Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult
lighting, and check that the burner crown holes (lett. B)
are not obstructed.
PAN SUPPORTS
The hobs are provided with enamelled pan supports
(thin and light) or cast iron pan supports (thicker and
heavier - see fig 2).
To keep the pan supports in the right position, they are
hooked to a couple of special hinges in the back of the
hob.
Thanks to these hooks, you can lift the pan supports
for easier cleaning. To take the pan supports
completely off the hob, proceed as shown in fig. 3.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
THE HOB LID
In order to make the appliance match with the kitchen
design, a lid (not provided) can be fitted on the hob.
●
The lid is meant to avoid dust to settle on the hob,
when it is closed, and to collect splashes of oil or
fat, when it is open. Do not use it for any other
purpose.
●
Always wipe off any splash of liquid before
opening the lid.
●
Always clean the lid from cooking residues before
opening it or taking it off.
●
WARNING! The crystal lid can splinter when
overheated. Always ensure all the burners are
off before closing it.
