Zanussi ZGF 682 Maintenance and Cleaning, Hob Top, Pan Supports, Burners, Ignition electrode

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

The Hob Top

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

-household detergent and bleaches;

-impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

-steel wool pads;

-bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

Pan Supports

To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob.

Model ZGF 682: The pan supports can be lifted

for easier cleaning, as shown in Fig. 2.

To remove the pan supports completely, proceed as shown in Fig. 3.

Model ZGF 692: The hob has two cast iron pan supports.

Take care when removing them. They are heavy and could damage the hob or your kitchen furniture if you let them fall.

Never turn the pan supports on the hinges, this could damage them.

To remove the pan supports completely, proceed as shown in Fig. 3.

Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution.

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns (Fig. 1) can be removed for cleaning. Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove. After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Ignition electrode

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "electrode" and a metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep these components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
