Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your hob, disconnect it from the power supply.

To extend the life of the hob, it should be cleaned carefully and thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the following:

•The enamelled parts must be washed with warm water without using abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them.

•The removable parts of the burners should be washed frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to remove caked-on substances.

•On hobs 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 surfaces should be cleaned regularly with a solution of warm water and a non-abrasive detergent. First, remove all food build up or grease with a cleaning scraper (Fig.A).

•Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents (containing phosphorous) for an extended period of time. It is recommended that these parts be rinsed thoroughly with water and then dried well. It is also a good idea to clean up any spills.

Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a suitable cleaning product, rub with a clean damp cloth and dry. Sugar or foods with a high sugar content that have melted onto the surface must be removed immediately with a scraper while the surfacr 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.

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.

Fig. A

Do not place anything, e.g diffuser, 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.
