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 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
To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob.
Model ZGF 681 IX: The pan supports can be lifted
for easier cleaning, as shown in Fig. 2.
Model ZGF 681 ICX: The hob has two cast iron
pan supports.
Take care when removing them. They are
heavy and could damage the hob or your
kitchen furniture if you let them fall.
Never turn the pan supports on the hinges, this
could damage them.
To remove the pan supports completely, proceed
as shown in Fig. 3.
Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If
necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel
wool pad can be used with caution.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns (Fig. 1) 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.
Ignition candle
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"candle" 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.
