44CARE AND CLEANING applying slight pressure. Cooktop cleaning and maintenance WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before carrying out cleaning. WARNING DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface. CAUTION Before cleaning the cooktop, make sure the controls are turned to OFF and that the cooktop is COOL. Cooktop surface Use only a soft, dry cloth for the normal cleaning of the surfaces. In case of persistent residues or to restore the original surface finish, moisten a soft cloth with water and pass it over the surface to be cleaned, letting it dry naturally. For more persistent stains such as grease/oil and any food residues (fruit juice, coffee, tomato), remove them immediately with a soft cloth and water. If the stains are not removed, moisten a soft rag with a window cleaner. Gently rub the surface to be treated, covering an area slightly larger than the stain. Do not spray the detergent directly onto the stain. Do not use abrasive, corrosive or acidic detergents, scour- ing powders, stain removers, creams or specific products for cleaning steel, ovens or dishes. Do not use rough or abrasive cloths and sponges or scouring pads. The use of abrasive products could irreparably damage the surfaces. Food stains or residues Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces. Use ordinary nonabrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth. Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If allowed to set for too long, sugar residue could pit the enamel lining of the oven. Cooktop grates and burner caps Remove from the cooktop and clean with lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent. Take care to remove any encrustations. Dry thoroughly and place them back on the cooktop. NOTE Continuous contact between the grates and the flame can lead to the enamel becoming modified on the parts exposed to heat. This is normal and has no effect on the operation of this component. Flame-spreader crowns and burner skirts The flame spreaders and the burner skirts can be removed to make cleaning easier. Wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Carefully remove any encrustations and wait until they are perfectly dry. Refit the skirts making sure that they are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective flame spreaders. Igniters and thermocouples If necessary, clean the igniters (1) and thermocouples (2) with a damp cloth. Remove any dry residue with a toothpick or needle. Refer to the "Correct burners placement" section when reinstalling the burner components.
