8.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components
CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher. In
normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and pan-
stands tend to be burnished by the high temperature. Clean
these parts using very fine abrasive sponges or similar
commercial products. Then use a specific paste polish to
restore the steel’s shine. Your local authorised after-sales
technician is able to supply professional products for appliance
cleaning and care.
Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be
removed for ease of cleaning. Wash them in warm
water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to
remove all tough spots. Before remounting, allow the
components to fully dry out.
8.2.1 Ignition plugs and safety devices
For good functioning of the lighting ignition plugs and the
safety devices, keep them very clean.
Check frequently and clean with a damp cloth when
necessary.
8.2.2 The cover
Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water.
Never use abrasive sponges or detergents. To clean the rear part of
the cooktop, remove the cover by lifting out.
When finished cleaning, refit the cover making sure to insert it
correctly.
Before lifting up the cover, dry out properly.
Never lower the cover when burners or electric elements are
on or still hot.
