Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your hob,
disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of the hob, it should be cleaned
carefully and thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in
mind the following:
• The enamelled parts 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 top must be cleaned with glass cleaning products.
Avoid using abrasive products and abrasive sponges
that could scratch the glass.
• The glass surfaces should be cleaned regularly with a
solution of warm water and a non-abrasive detergent.
First, remove all food build up or grease with a cleaning
scraper (Fig.A).
• 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.
Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a
suitable cleaning product, rub with a clean damp cloth
and dry. Sugar or foods with a high sugar content that
have melted onto the surface must be removed
immediately with a scraper while the surfacr is still hot. DO
NOT use abrasive sponges or cleaning products under
any circumstances. This holds true for chemically
aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and stain removers.
Greasing the Gas Valves
Over time, the gas valves may stick or become difficult to
turn. If this is the case, the must be cleaned on the inside
and the regreased.
N.B.: This procedure must be performed by a technician
authorized by the manufacturer.
Fig. A
Do not place anything, e.g. flame tamer,
asbestos mat, between pan and pan
support as serious damage to the
appliance may result.
Do not remove the pan support and
enclose the burner with a work stand as
this will concentrate and deflect the heat
onto the hotplate.
Do not use large pots or heavy weights
which can bend the pan support or
deflect the flame onto the hotplate.
