CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL ADVICE
Before you begin cleaning you
must ensure that the hob is
switched off.
It is advisable to clean when the appli-
ance is cold and especially when
cleaning the enamelled parts.
All enamelled surfaces have to be
washed with soapy water or some
other non-abrasive product with a
sponge and are to be dried preferably
with a soft cloth.
Avoid leaving alkaline or acid sub-
stances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on
the surfaces.
ENAMELLED PARTS
All the enamelled parts must be
cleaned with a sponge and soapy
water only or other non-abrasive
products.
Dry preferably with a chamois leather.
If acid substances such as lemon
juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc.
are left on the enamel for a long time
they will etch it, making it opaque.

STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS
Stainless steel parts must be rinsed
with water and dried with a soft and
clean cloth or with a chamois leather.
For persistent dirt, use specific non-
abrasive products available commer-
cially or a little hot vinegar.
Note: regular use could cause dis-
colouring around the burners,
because of the high flame tempera-
ture.
CONTROL KNOB
The control knobs may be removed for
cleaning but care should be taken not
to damage the seal.
Do not use steam jet cleaners
because the humidity could infil-
trate into the appliance making it
dangerous.
