Maintenance and cleaning

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

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

The hob top

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

Regularly wipe over the hob top us- ing 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 clean- ing product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

Pan supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying them as the enamel- ling 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.

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" with a metal electrode inside. Keep these com- ponents well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
