CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
always disconnect the appliance from the gas and electricity mains before carrying out any cleaning
operation.
2) HOT PLATE
Periodically wash the hot plate, the enamelled steel pan support, the enamelled burner caps “C” and the
burner heads “T” (see fig. 6) with lukewarm soapy water. Following this, all parts should be thoroughly rinsed
and dried. Never wash them while they are still warm and never use abrasive powders. Do not allow vinegar,
coffee, milk, salted water, lemon or tomato juice from remaining in contact with the enamelled surfaces for long
periods of time.
WARNINGS:
comply with the following instructions, before remounting the parts:
- check that burner head slots “T” have not become clogged by foreign bodies.
- Check that enamelled burner cap “C” (fig. 6) have correctly positioned on the burner head. It must be
steady.
- The exact position of the pan support is established by the rounded corners, which should be set
towards the side edge of the hot plate.
- Do not force the taps if they are difficult to open or close. Contact the technical assistance service for
repairs.
- Correctly preserve the plate after use by treating it with special products, easily available on the
market. This will keep the surface of the plate clean and bright. The operation will also prevent the
formation of rust.
- Don’t use steam jets for cleaning the cooktop.
