Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
!
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such
as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these
may scratch the surface beyond repair.
!
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
• It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp
sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• The removable parts of the burners should be
washed frequently with warm water and soap and
any burnt-on substances removed.
• For hobs which ligth automatically, the terminal
part of the electronic instant lighting devices
should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet
holes should be checked for blockages.
• Before using the ceramic glass module, the
surface must be cleaned, using a damp cloth to
remove dust or food residues. The ceramic glass
surface should be cleaned regularly with a
soultion of warm water and a non-abrasive
detergent. Periodically, special products will need
to be used to clean the surface. First, remove all
food buildup or grease with a cleaning scraper,
e.g.
(not supplied.
Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm
with a suitable cleaning product (such as the one
in the Solutions product line available from any
After-Sales Service Centre) and paper towels.
Then rub with a damp cloth and dry. Aluminum
foil, plastic items, objects made of synthetic
material, sugar or foods with a high sugar content
that have melted onto the surface must be
removed
immediatley
with a
scraper while the
cooking surface is
still hot. Special
cleaning products for
ceramic glass
surfaces form a
transparent
protective layer
which fights diry
buildup. This also
protects the surface
from damage caused
by food with a high
sugar content. Do
not use abrasive
sponges or cleaning
products under any
circumstances. This
holds true for
chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays
and stain removers.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, rinse and dry any remaining drops
of water.
! Do not use stainless steel flame spreaders,
bread toasters or meat grills over gas flames.
Gas tap maintenance
Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult
to turn. If this happens, the tap must be replaced.
!
This procedure must be performed by a
qualified technician authorised by the
manufacturer.
