Cleaning and Maintenance:
How to clean:
•
After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have
cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.),
however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove
later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.
•
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports.
•
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-
wire brush.
•
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that these are also
cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan support may scratch the hob.
•
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely.
•
Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking may
damage the enamel.
•
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner covers are
correctly placed on the diffuser.
•
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will save yourself any
unnecessary effort.
•
Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.
•
The ring cover of the double or triple flame burner and stainless steel parts
such as hotplate rings, top sheet and the area around the burners may become
discoloured over time. This is normal because of the high temperatures. Each
time the appliance is used these parts should be cleaned with a product that is
suitable for stainless steel.
CAUTION:
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of !heat,
moisture and products of combustion" in the room in which it is installed. Ensure
that the kitchen !is well ventilated
especially when the
appliance is in use": keep natural ventilation holes open or
install a mechanical
ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
