Care and maintenance
Cleaning the hob
Spillage on the hob can usually be removed by a damp soapy cloth. More obstinate
stains can be removed by rubbing gently with a soapy scouring pad or mild household
cleaner.
Burners
To be washed only with soapy water.
After each cleaning, make sure that the burner-caps, as well as the burners, have been
well wiped off and CORRECTLY POSITIONED.
It is essential to check the correct position of the burner-caps as the least displacement
from the housing may cause serious problems.
Gas taps

do not force
; contact your local Service Centre.

Important:
As a safety measure, before you start cleaning the cooker be sure to disconnect it from
the mains supply.
Preparing the oven
Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for
the first time; use water and soap, then rinse
carefully.
Once the above operations are completed,
heat the oven to the max. temperature for
about one and a half hours so as to eliminate
any residual factory grease that might impart
unpleasant smells to the meals being cooked.
The oven shelves are provided with safety
stops.
