Care and maintenance
The hob has a stainless steel surface. Due to this you should use a
non-abrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch
the surface and could erase the control panel markings. Stainless
steel can be effectively cleaned by simply using a dilute solution of
water and washing up liquid, and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.
Over time with use, the stainless steel surface may discolour; this is
normal and does not constitute a fault with this appliance.
Proprietary stainless steel cleaners are available.
The cast iron parts of hobs (pan stands and burner caps on this
model) are not suitable for cleaning in dishwashers. They should be
washed by hand and dried thoroughly afterwards with a
clean, dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
•
Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
•
Ensure that all parts are correctly replaced after cleaning and
before attempting to use the hob.
• After removing the pan stands, ensure the rubber feet on the
undersides are in place and not contaminated with dirt/grit before
replacing the pan stands.
• If water enters the ignition candle area, this can cause them to
click constantly. This is not necessarily a fault. Switch the mains
power supply off and wait for the water to dry up.
