• It is important to wait for the ceramic hob surface to cool completely before cleaning it.
• Only use special products for cleaning ceramic surfaces, cream and scraper. You
can find them easily in the shops.
• Avoid spills; messes that fall onto the cooking surface burn fast and are then
harder to clean off.
• It is recommended to keep away from the cooking surface anything likely to
melt like plastic articles, sugar or products with a high sugar content.

THE GAS BURNERS
•
Burner caps and pan supports : Just lift them off and clean with a damp, slightly soapy
sponge.
Do not immerse them in cold water immediately after use to avoid cracking the enamel
from the thermal shock.
The use of abrasive cleansers is not recommended as they scratch and dull the enamel.
• The burner head : the burner cap is simply placed on the burner head. If the holes are
clogged, brush the caps using soapy water and dry with a clean cloth.
Each burner is simply layed on a flange slightly bossed to drain the overflows far from the
flame and the hot areas which make cleaning easier.
• After cleaning of each element, it is important to wipe them correctly and care of fitting
them rightly in their initial position. The re-fitting must be perfect because a bad positioning
can bring serious anomalies in the combustion.
Warning : be careful, not to let any water get into the burners.
THE KNOBS
• For thorough cleaning, the control knobs can be removed by pulling them upwards.
Only clean with soapy water and dry well before replacing them.
If you have to take the knobs off for a full cleaning, take care not to let water go into the
open zone.
