appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power supply.
To extend the life of the hob, it is absolutely
indispensable that it be cleaned carefully and
thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the
following:
· Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
The enamelled parts and the glass top, if present, must
be washed with warm water without using abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;
The removable parts of the burners should be washed
frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to
remove caked-on substances;
On hobs with automatic ignition, the end of the
electronic ignition device must be cleaned carefully and
frequently, making sure that the gas holes are not
clogged;
The electric hobs should be cleaned using a damp cloth
and then rubbed with oil while still warm;
Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact
with highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents
(containing phosphorous) for an extended period of
time. It is recommended that these parts be rinsed
thoroughly with water and then dried well. It is also a
good idea to clean up any spills.
Greasing the Taps
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to
turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.
N.B.: This operation must be performed by a technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
