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.
