Warnings and suggestions for using
steel: Cleaning and care
If prolonged use has worn away the surface of the electrical hot plates, sprinkle them with a few
drops of oil or other maintenance products that are commonly available on the market.
Owing to the high temperatures that the triple-flame burner ring cover has to withstand (as well
as the stainless steel areas such as the plate rings, grease traps and the area around the
burners, etc.), they will EVENTUALLY become discoloured with time. Clean them each time
you use them, with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.
After washing the pan supports, dry them completely before cooking with them again. Drops
of water or damp patches on the surfaces when you begin cooking may cause deterioration of
the enamel.
If the pan supports on your cooking hob are fitted with rubber rests, take care when you clean
them, as they might come off, leaving your pan support without protection, and it may scratch
the cooking hob. Stainless steel cleaners should not be used in the area around the controls,
as the setting indications might become erased.
Never use abrasive
products, sharp objects,
steel scourers or knives,
etc. for removing the
remains of hardened food
from the cooking hob, pan
supports, burners or
electric hot plates. If your
cooking hob is fitted with
a glass or aluminium
panel, never use a knife,
scraper or similar to clean
the point where it joins the
metal.
Never use steam-
cleaning machines
on your cooking hob,
as it could damage it.
Avoid spilling acidic
liquids (such as lemon
juice or vinegar) on your
cooking hob.
Try not to spill salt on
the surface of the
electrical hotplate.
Once the appliance has
cooled down, clean it with a
sponge, soap and water.
Remove any spilled liquid as
soon as possible, as this will
save you time and effort later.
To keep the burners and pan
supports clean, you should
clean them periodically by
placing them in soapy water
and brushing them with a
non-metallic brush to ensure
that the holes and grooves
are perfectly clean, to
provide a perfect flame.
Always dry the burner
covers and the pan supports
if they have become wet.
After cleaning and drying
the burners, make sure
the burner covers are
correctly placed on the
burner’s flame diffuser.
