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.
