For best care of the glass, it should be cle-
aned when it is cold, with suitable pro-
ducts. It should be cleaned after each use,
so that cleaning is easier and there is no
build-up of dirt from repeated use.
When cleaning the glass, the degree of
soiling should be taken into considera-
tion, and the following guidelines follo-
wed:
* When soiling is light and not stuck fast,
a damp cloth and a soft detergent can
be used.
* Staining or grease should be cleaned
with cleaning products that are suitable
for glass.
* If any objects or plastic utensils or sugar
melts onto the glass, it should be removed
immediately, while hot, using a scraper.
* Never use aggressive or abrasive clea-
ning products that could cause scrat-
ches, such as oven cleaning aerosols,
rust removers or sponges or scourers
with a hard surface.
* Do not slide pans over the glass, as they
can cause scratches.
* Ensure that the liquid does not evapora-
te from pans, because the heat building
up at the base could damage the burner
or the glass.
* The glass will tolerate light bangs from
big pans that do not have sharp edges.
Be careful with impacts from small,
sharp instruments. Do not bang pans
against the edge of the glass, since this
can damage the glass irreparably.
* Do not spill cold liquids on the glass or
burners when they are hot.
* Do not stand or lean on the glass, as it
might break and cause damage.
To clean and care for other compo-
nents, follow these guidelines:
* The grids should be cleaned with a non-
abrasive scourer when they have cooled
down.
* The burners - the grooves in particular -
should be cleaned at regular intervals;
they should be put into warm, soapy
water and cleaned with a scourer or a
stiff brush.
* Do not clean the enamel burners’ diffu-
sing covers while they are still hot. Abra-
sive products can cause damage: vine-
gar, coffee, milk, salty water and tomato
juice that have lengthy contact with the
enamel surfaces.
* The stainless steel should be washed in
soapy water using a soft cloth. If the
metal is yellowish after this, we suggest
the use of lemon, vinegar, dilute ammo-
nia or a cleaning product that contains
dilute ammonia. You can keep the metal
shiny by gently rubbing with a polish that
can be easily obtained from outlets
selling cleaning products.
* The control panel should be cleaned
with soapy water and a soft cloth.
* When cleaning the appliance with the
burners removed, care should be taken
not to allow liquid or other objects to get
into the bend of the injector holder.
* When cleaning, do not use products that
can harm aluminium, such as soda, oil,
etc.
* The ignition unit (ceramic and electrode)
must be periodically cleaned with care in
order to prevent ignition problems. A
check should also be made that the bur-
ner slots are not obstructed.
