How to Keep Your Hob in Shape

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

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

·Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.

• The enamelled parts and the glass top, if present, 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 electric hobs should be cleaned using a damp cloth and then rubbed with oil while still warm;

•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.
