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 and the aluminium frame
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

The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner. Never use steel wool pads or acids.

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.

The cap and crown of each burner (except for the central
burner) are secured with two screws. To separate the
two pieces, lift the crown, turn it upside down, then undo
the two fixing screws as shown in fig. 4.
After cleaning, reassemble the two parts and refit the
cap on its correct position on the burner.

Ignition electrode

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