9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.
9.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep the hob in good condition, you should clean it after every use (after it ha
s
cooled).
9.1.1 Regular daily cleaning of the hob
In order to clean and preserve the surface, always use specific products only, which
do not contain abrasive substances or chlorine-based acid substances.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly
and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
9.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the
surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products and remove spots or residuals with non-
scratch sponges or, if need be, with wood or plastic utensils.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
9.2 Cleaning of the components
9.2.1 Knob
The knobs are made of stainless steel and therefore should be cleaned in the same
way as the hob.
9.2.2 Grids and burners cap
In normal use of the hob, the grids and burner caps normally get browned as a result
of the high temperature. For optimum cleaning remove the burner cap and lift up one
of the horizontal spokes of the grid to remove it from its housing. Clean these parts
with a fine abrasive sponge or similar products found on the market. Then redo with
specific polish to make the steel shiny.
Reassemble the burner caps on their flame crowns. When replacing the grids, make
sure that pins C are aligned with their seats on the hob, then press them in with the
palm of your hand until they lock in place.
9.2.3 Flame crowns
The flame crowns are removable. Wash them with hot water and non-abrasive
detergent. Be careful to remove all deposits.
When you replace them, make sure that they are completely dry and inserted
correctly in their housings (see Section “8. Using the hob”).
