The burner openings are not clogged.
The plug end is not dirty.
All the burner parts have been positioned correctly.
There are no draughts near the hob.
2. The burner does not stay lit
Check that:
When lighting the burner, the knob has been pressed for enough time to activate the protection device.
The burner openings are not clogged near the thermocouple.
The end of the safety device is not dirty.
The minimum gas setting is correct (see relevant paragraph).
3. The containers are not stable
Check that:
The bottom of the container is perfectly flat
The container is centered on the burner.
The grids have not been exchanged or positioned incorrectly.
If after the above checks the fault still occurs, get in touch with the nearest After Sales Service.
CLEANING THE HOB SURFACE
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.
Clean them by hand with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, removing any food residues and checking that none
of the burner openings is clogged.
•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.
