4.1 How to clean the Stainless Steel
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
You must wait until the cooktop has completely cooled down before
starting any cleaning operation.
4.1.1 Regular cleaning of the cooktop
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain
abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
To keep the cooktop in good condition, it would be ideal to clean it after every use.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth or deerskin.
4.1.2 Food stains or residue
Never use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers, as they will damage the surface.
Use normal, non-abrasive products for steel together with non-scratch sponges and, if necessary,
wooden or plastic utensils.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
4.2 Cleaning the components
4.2.1 Knobs
The knobs are made of stainless steel and therefore should be cleaned as indicated for
the cooktop.
4.2.2 Grids and burner caps
- Over normal use of the cooktop, the grids and burner caps normally turn brown as a result of the high
temperatures.
- For optimum cleaning remove the burner caps and lift up one of the horizontal spokes on the grid
to remove it from its housing.
- Clean these parts with a fine abrasive sponge or similar products available on the market.
- Then use a specific polish for a shiny finish of the steel.
- Re-fit the burner caps on their flame caps.
- When replacing the grids, make sure that pins C are aligned with their seats on the cooktop. Then
press them in with the palm of your hand until they lock into place.
