Rangehoods
Rangehood filters need to be washed regularly by using warm soapy water and dried using a soft
dry cloth. There are various commercial products available which also may be used. Follow
manufacturers’ directions for use. Cleaning filters in the dishwasher: The heavy alkalinity of dish washing
detergents could damage filters. If you choose to wash the filters in the dishwasher we recommend you
use a hot rinse mode with no detergent.

Cooktops
Clean the stainless steel cooktop surface after each use with a clean cloth and normal detergent. Make
sure the detergent does not contain chloride or any chloride compound. For persistent stains use warm
vinegar or a non-abrasive cleaner. To make cleaning easier always wipe spills when they occur, do not
leave them to dry as this makes cleaning harder.
Trivets
Trivets should only be cleaned once they have cooled, to stop crazing from occurring. To clean trivets,
wash in sink with warm soapy water then dry immediately using a clean dry cloth. Do not use anything
too abrasive such as a chrome detergent as this may cause damage. The alkalinity of dishwashing
detergents could damage the trivets. If you choose to wash the trivets in the dishwasher we recommend
you use a hot rinse mode with no detergent. Enameled trivets may over a period of time discolour, this is
due to exposure to a naked flame which may burn the enamel edge off the tips of trivets. This will not
affect the performance of the cooktop. To remove surface staining use any cooking oil and a fine brush or
scourer, lightly oiling trivets will also help in keeping their new appearance.
Burner caps
The burner caps sit on the brass burners. To clean, remove and wash in warm water. Burner caps should
not be put into cold water immediately after use, as crazing will occur, always allow caps to cool before
cleaning. ILVE recommend removing the burner caps when cooking as they are only cosmetic.
Brass burners
The brass burners will tarnish to a brown colour with use. To clean simply soak in white vinegar for 20
minutes to remove food splatter.
Aluminium skirts
The aluminium skirt from the base of the burner may be washed in warm soapy water using a gentle
scouring pad to remove any burnt on food splatter. A commercial product such as Autosol, which is
designed for cleaning aluminium, can be used following makers’ instructions. Do not put skirts in the
dishwasher as this will cause the aluminium to discolour. ILVE recommend burner skirt covers to help
protect the Aluminium Skirts
(available at all ILVE Showrooms or shop.ilve.com.au).
Stainless steel
Stainless steel can be cleaned using a range of commercial products and stainless steel cleaners. Follow
makers’ instructions, taking care when cleaning around the graphics. When cleaning, be sure to follow the
grain of the stainless steel as much as possible. Never use abrasive products on the stainless steel as it
will scratch the stainless steel. Take care not to drop substances containing sugar on the hob, if this does
happen clean with warm water immediately.
Oven light replacement
Replacement globes are available from the Ilve service department. When changing over the lamp always
switch off the power first. Unscrew the glass cover over the globe by twisting it anti-clockwise. If glass
cover is hard to unscrew, heat oven slightly, as this will heat any fat that might be congealed around the
glass, and unscrew using a cloth. Remove existing globe and fit new ‘edison screw’ bulb, refit the glass
cover and switch on the power.
NOTE: The light may be difficult to remove over time. Try using Multi-Grips being sure NOT to break the
bulb and/or glass.
