Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

!Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

!Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

!The silver grids might grow darker due to use. That is why the hob comes equipped with another kit of black grids.

•It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.

•The removable parts of the burners should be washed frequently with warm water and soap and any burnt-on substances removed.

•For hobs which ligth automatically, the terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes should be checked for blockages.

•Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive detergents containing phosphorus.

After cleaning, rinse and dry any remaining drops of water.

•Before using the

ceramic glass module, the surface must be cleaned,

using a damp cloth to remove dust or food residues. The ceramic glass surface should be cleaned

regularly with a

soultion of warm water and a non-abrasive detergent. Periodically, special products will need to be used to clean the surface. First, remove all food buildup or grease

with a cleaning scraper, e.g. (not supplied.

Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with

a suitable cleaning product (such as the one in the Solutions product line available from any After- Sales Service Centre) and paper towels. Then rub with a damp cloth and dry. Aluminum foil, plastic items, objects made of synthetic material, sugar or foods with a high sugar content that have melted onto the surface must be removed immediatley with a scraper while the cooking surface is still hot. Special cleaning

products for ceramic glass surfaces form a transparent protective

layer which fights diry buildup. This also

protects the surface from damage caused by food with a high

sugar content. Do not use abrasive

sponges or cleaning products under any circumstances. This holds true for chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and stain removers.

Gas tap maintenance

Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult to turn. If this happens, the tap must be replaced.

!This procedure must be performed by a qualified technician authorised by the manufacturer.
