CLEANING THE HOB SURFACE

WARNING

All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and neutral solution.

Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by calcareous water or aggressive detergents if left in contact for too long. Any food spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.

Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with specific cleaners for stainless steel surfaces.

NOTE: clean stainless steel only with soft cloth or sponge.

Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.

Do not use steam cleaning appliances.

Do not use flammable products.

Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice on the hob.

CLEANING THE HOB PARTS

Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.

USE OF THE GAS BURNERS

• To ignite one of the burners, turn the relative knob anti-clockwise to the maximum flame setting .

Press the knob against the control panel to ignite the burner.

After the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed for about 5 seconds to allow the thermocouple to warm up. This burner safety device shuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame goes out accidentally (because of sudden draught, an interruption in the gas delivery, boiling over of liquids, etc.).

The device must not be pressed for more than 15 sec. If, after that time has elapsed, the burner does not remain lit, wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.

The burner might go out when the knob is released.

This means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough. In this case, repeat the operations described above.

• Rinse and dry

• Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.

• When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned with the burner.

• Models equipped with electrical ignition plugs and safety device require thorough cleaning of the plug end in order to

ensure correct operation. Check these items frequently, and if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Any baked-on

food should be removed with a toothpick or needle.

NOTE: to avoid damaging the electric ignition device, do not use it when the burners are not in their housing.

PRATICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE BURNERS

This hob has burners of different diameters. For better burner performance, please stick to the following rules:

-Use pots and pans with bottoms the same width as that of the burners or slightly larger (see table on the right).

-Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.

-Use the correct amount of water for cooking foods and keep the pot covered.

-Make sure pots on the grates do not protrude beyond the edge of the hob
