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
-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.
If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and call your nearest Service Force Centre.
Pan Supports | Fig. 2 |

The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning. The cap and crown of each burner are
secured with two screws. To separate the two pieces, lift
the cap, turn it upside down, then undo the two fixingFO2265 screws as shown in fig. 2. After cleaning, reassemble
the two parts and refit the cap on its correct position on the burner. 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 B). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
