MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spellage can be removed more easily that if it is
left to cool.
The pan supports, burner caps and crowns can
be lifted off for cleaning.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft
cloth weel wrung out in warm water to which a
little liquid detergent has been added. Avoid the
use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
OPERATION
HOB BURNERS
To light a burner, turn the relevant knob
anticlockwise to maximum position and push
down the knob to ignite.
Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control
knob to zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation
or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is
strongly recommended that you use only pots
and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the
burner used (see table), so that flame will not
spread beyond the bottom of the vessel. It is
also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling,
to turn down the flame so that it will barely keep
the liquid simmering.
IMPORTANT
Be very careful when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
IMPORTANT
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Tricity Bendix Service
Centre.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as
Hob Brite is used.
Clean the pan supports, the burners taps and
crowns using hot detergent water, and remove
marks with a mild paste cleaner. A weel
moistened soap impregnated stell wool pad can
be used with caution, if the marks are
particularly difficult to remove. The burner crown
may loose its matt surface after several
cleanings but this will no way impair ist function.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If
washinf them by hand, take care when drying
them as the enamelling process occasionally
leaves rough edges.
