Care and maintenance

A colored textured effect has always been one of Elleci’s strengths, guaranteeing the quality of its products and the best match with sinks made of Granitek and Keratek Plus. Cleaning an enamel hob is quick and easy: just use a soft, non-abrasive sponge or a soft damp cloth. It is important to use only well-diluted neutral detergents or specific ready-to-use Daily Clean products for colored surfaces. The use of corrosive or aggressive products is strongly discouraged as they could irreparably damage the colored sections of the surface. After cleaning is completed, the surface should be thoroughly dried and stains should be removed where possible while the hob is still warm, as this will prevent them from being absorbed by the textured surface.

Each model of tempered glass gas hob needs to be cared for it properly to maintain its esthetic properties over time. We recommend the use of neutral detergents diluted with water or the specific Daily Clean spray product for colored surfaces. Aggressive products such as bleach cannot be used as they could alter or damage the surface. It is recommended that the surface always be thoroughly dried using a soft cloth.

As an alternative to the modern method, there is a ‘natural’ cleaning procedure. Simply use a solution of warm water, baking soda and apple cider vinegar to achieve an excellent result.

Le componenti del piano cottura quali bruciatori in alluminio e coperchietti neri opachi, in generale richiedono una pulizia puntuale ad ogni utilizzo. La procedura di pulizia può dipendere dall’entità e tipologia di macchie; può alle volte bastare un panno umido ma ogni tanto occorre una pulizia più approfondita. Per rimuovere residui di macchie dai coperchietti neri opachi e bruciatori in alluminio è necessario come prima operazione munirsi di uno o due limoni. Tagliato a metà per facilitarne l’uso, va strofinato su tutte le superfici macchiate e l’acido citrico dovrà essere lasciato agire per almeno 5/10 minuti; nel frattempo va preparata una soluzione di acqua tiepida e sapone per i piatti. Con l’aiuto di una spugna morbida di tipo Scotch Brite imbevuta della soluzione si procederà a pulire singolarmente i componenti precedentemente trattati lasciando agire il composto per qualche minuto per poi risciacquare accuratamente uno alla volta tutti i componenti. Vanno a questo punto asciugati accuratamente con un panno assorbente tutti gli elementi per evitare la formazione o il rilascio di particelle ossidate, poi, vanno riposizionati sul piano cottura.

Tale procedura di pulizia può avere più o meno efficacia secondo l’entità e la natura delle macchie. Si consiglia di ripetere l’operazione nei giorni seguenti nel caso in cui le macchie non vengano completamente rimosse al primo tentativo.

To ensure proper use of the oven over time, care must be taken to provide continuous and optimal maintenance. It is recommended that the interior cooking space, racks, drip pans and inner glass door be cleaned after each use using simple techniques:

– Corrosive or aggressive products should not be used, as they can damage the internal parts of the appliance and impair its operation. The appliance can thus be protected from stubborn stains and deposits that are difficult to remove later.

– In addition to the specific products that can easily be found on the market, there is a natural cleaning method. The following is one of the most popular options, summarized in a few simple steps:

– Remove the drip pans and racks from the oven.

– Mix baking soda and vinegar in a baking dish or container.

– Apply the mixture directly to the oven walls using a soft sponge.

– Fill the dish or container with white vinegar and water and place it on a rack inside the oven.

– Close the oven and heat to 160 degrees for about 30 minutes.

– Wipe the oven walls thoroughly with a damp cloth.

Oven glass is a component prone to accumulation of cooking residues, so it needs to be thoroughly cleaned regularly both to keep it looking good and to keep it clean and safe. To clean oven glass, you can simply use home remedies suitable for both mild stains and those that are more difficult to remove, such as a mixture of water, white vinegar and baking soda. The following is a simple procedure to make your glass oven door shine again:

– Mix water, white vinegar and baking soda in a container.

– Wipe the glass with a damp cloth to remove surface soiling.

– Pour the mixture onto the glass and leave it to act for a few minutes.

– Rinse and dry thoroughly using a microfiber or other soft cloth.

Repeat the procedure if the soiling is more stubborn to remove, increasing the action time. Do not use corrosive products and abrasive sponges because they could irreparably damage the oven glass.

To ensure that your oven is always clean and safe, the racks where soiling lurks should be cleaned after each use. It is therefore appropriate to perform routine cleaning and to act promptly if there are stubborn stains that are difficult to remove.

The following is a simple procedure to make racks shine again and restore their luster using vinegar and baking soda:

– Remove the racks from the oven and place them on a shelf or inside the bowl of the kitchen sink.

– Prepare a solution of water and white vinegar.

– Fill a spray-cap bottle with the freshly prepared solution and apply the solution to the surface of the racks.

– Leave to act for a few minutes.

– Sprinkle baking soda on the racks.

– When finished, rinse using warm water and dry thoroughly using a microfiber or other soft cloth.

If there is stubborn residue, repeat the cleaning procedure several times until the stains are completely removed.
