Your cooktop has been designed to combine the easy-care cleaning of ceramic glass with
the performance of gas.
Important!
Read through the ‘Safety and warnings’ and ‘Care and cleaning’ sections carefully before doing any
cleaning or maintenance.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or burners being accidentally turned on during cleaning, make
sure you turn the cooktop off before cleaning by pressing the on/off power button.
Remember that the cooktop will need to be turned back on for the pan supports to rise and lower.
See the specific cleaning instructions on the pages following.
To maintain your cooktop in good condition, follow the recommendations in the chart
below :
Care and cleaning
When What to do
Important!
Immediately
Remove sugary spillovers or anything
that melts onto the ceramic glass. See
‘Melts and spills that require immediate
attention’ for instructions.
Take care not to scratch the
glass or damage the trim
rings or pan support pins.
Take extreme care when
working around hot
surfaces.
After every
use
Keep the pan supports clean to ensure
that they rise and lower properly during
use. See ‘Cleaning the pan supports (the
pan support pins and burner heads)’.
Lower the cooled, clean pan supports
and wipe the cooktop with a damp, soft
cloth and mild detergent. See ‘Cleaning
the ceramic glass’ for further instructions
and information.
Always clean soiled pan
supports before lowering
them.
Do not let spills and stains
become burnt onto the glass
or pan supports.
Do not use abrasive
sponges, heavy-duty or
unsuitable nylon scourers,
or corrosive cleaners such
as oven sprays and stain
removers.
Once every
six months
Check that the airflow through the
air filter mesh (on the underside of
your cooktop) and the air intake grill
(installed in the base of your cabinet)
is not blocked or reduced, eg by
accumulated dust or other dirt.
Clean the mesh and grill with a small
brush if necessary.
Once every
year
Check the gas connection hose for any
sign of abrasion, kinking, or any other
damage.
If you are unsure as to
the condition of the gas
connection hose, contact
your Authorised Service
Centre or Customer Care.
