CLEANING
CAUTION: Always disconnect the appliance from the gas and electricity supplies before carrying out
any cleaning operation.
Continuous use can cause the burners to change color due to the high temperature. To properly clean
your appliance, follow these steps:
Periodically wash the hot plate, the enameled steel pan support, the enameled burner caps “A”,
“B” and “C” and the burner heads "T" (see fig. 10 and 11) with lukewarm soapy water. Also clean
plugs "AC" and flame detection "TC" (see fig. 10). Clean them gently with a small nylon brush as
shown (see fig. 12) and allow to dry fully.
NOTE: Do not wash in the dishwasher. It is very important to clean the surface soon after every use,
while the glass is still somewhat warm.
Do not allow vinegar, coffee, milk, salt water, or lemon or tomato juice to remain in contact with
the enameled surfaces for long periods of time.
Do not clean using abrasive metal scourers, abrasive powders or corrosive sprays.
Before Remounting Parts
Comply with the following instructions, before remounting the parts:
Check that burner head slots have not become clogged by foreign bodies.
Check that enameled burner caps A-B-C” (fig. 10-11) have been correctly positioned on the
burner head. They 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 customer service for technical
assistance or repairs.
Correctly preserve the plate after use by treating it with special, easily available products. 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 to clean the equipment.
Food burnt onto an electric plate must be removed dry.
After use, pour a little lukewarm oil on the plate and wipe it with a cloth.
