2) HOT PLATE
It is very important to clean the surface soon after
every use, when the glass is still tepid.
Periodically wash the hot plate, the enamelled stell
pan support, the enamelled burner caps "A", "B"
and "C" and the burner heads "T" (see fig. 6 - 6/A)
with lukewarm soapy water. They should also be
cleaned plugs "AC" and flame detection "TC" (see
fig. 6). Clean them gently with a small nylon brush
as shown (see fig. 6/B) and allow to dry fully.
Do not wash in the dishwasher.
Do not allow vinegar, coffee, milk, salted water,
lemon or tomato juice from remaining in contact
with the enamelled surfaces for long periods of
time.
Do not use metallic sponges, powder abrasives or
corrosive sprays.
WARNINGS:
comply with the following instructions, before
remounting the parts:
- check that burner heads slots (see fig. 6 -
6/A) have not become clogged by foreign
bodies.
- Check that enamelled burner cap "A - B - C"
(fig. 6 - 6/A) have correctly positioned on the
burner head. It must be steady.
- For an exact stability of the pan supports,
verify that they are inserted in their specific
centering niches situated on flanges.
- Do not force the taps if they are difficult open
or close. Contact the technical assistance
service for repairs.
- Don't use steam jets for the equipment
cleaning.
Note: continuous use could cause the
burners to change colour due to the high
temperature.
