Practical Advice - Ariston TD 720-Serie Handbuch

Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your
appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power supply.
To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely
indispensable that it be cleaned carefully and
thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the
following:
• Enameled and glass parts must be washed with
lukewarm water without using abrasive powders or
corrosive substances that could damage them;
• The removable parts of the burners should be washed
frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to
remove caked-on substances;
• On cooktops with automatic ignition, the end of the
electronic ignition device must be cleaned carefully and
frequently, making sure that the gas holes are not
clogged;
• the top must be cleaned with glass cleaning products.
Avoid using abrasive products and abrasive sponges
that could scratch the glass.
• the glass surface should be cleaned regularly with a
soultion of warm water and a non-abrasive detergent.
First, remove all food buildup or grease with a cleaning
scraper, e.g.
Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a
suitable cleaning product, then rub with a damp cloth
and dry. Sugar or foods with a high sugar content that
have melted onto the surface must be removed
immediatley with a scraper while the cooking surface
is still hot. Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning
products under any circumstances. This holds true for
chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and
stain removers (Fig. B);
Practical Advise on Using the Burners
For best performance, follow these general guidelines:
• Use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) in order to prevent the flame from reaching the
sides of the pot or pan;
• Alwasy use cookware with a flat bottom and keep the
lid on;
• When the contents come to a boil, turn the knob to
"Low".
It may occur that the cooktop does not function or does
not function properly. Before calling customer service for
assistance, lets see what can be done.
First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in
the gas and electrical supplies, and, in particular, that the
gas valves for the mains are open.

Practical Advice

Is there a problem?
Fig. A
Do not place anything, e.g. flame tamer,
asbestos mat, between pan and pan
support as serious damage to the
appliance may result.
Do not remove the pan support and
enclose the burner with a work stand as
this will concentrate and deflect the heat
onto the hotplate.
Do not use large pots or heavy weights
which can bend the pan support or
deflect the flame onto the hotplate.
Greasing the Gas Valves
Over time, the gas valves may stick or become difficult to
turn. If this is the case, the must be cleaned on the inside
and the regreased.
N.B.: This procedure must be performed by a
technician authorized by the manufacturer.
