Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Cleaning and maintenance should be carried out with
the appliance cold especially when cleaning the
enameled parts. Avoid leaving alkaline or acid
substances(lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.
STAINLESS STEEL
The stainless steel hob of the hotplate must be
cleaned regularly (e.g. weekly) to ensure long
life expectancy of the hotplate.
Ensure hotplate has cooled. Wash down with warm
soapy water and rinse with clean water.
Dry with a clean soft cloth. A specialized stainless
steel cleaning fluid may be used.
NOTE: Ensure that wiping is done along with the
grain of the stainless steel to prevent any unsightly
crisscross scratching patterns from appearing.
TRIVETS (UTENSIL SUPPORTS)
Enameled parts must only be washed with a sponge
and soapy water or with non-abrasive products. Rinse
with clean water. Dry with a clean soft cloth.
BURNERS
Remove trivets from
hob. Ensure burners
are cool. Remove the
burners
enameled
cap (C) and aluminum
burner crown (F).
Wash
down
with
warm soapy water
and rinse with clean
water. Dry with a
clean soft cloth.
Note: S: Ignition pin T: Thermocouple
Use a cotton bud, tooth brush, or some other item to
clean out any incrustations or dirt from the four holes
marked(H)
The spark gas is 4-6mm.
Replace burners and ensure they are correctly
repositioned over the igniter (S) and thermocouple (T).
The igniter (S) must be clean for trouble free sparking.
Test burner ignition and burner flame for correct
operation.
The Triple Ring (Wok) burner (diagrams below) does
not fit over the igniter or thermocouple but must be
placed on its supports. If burner is placed correctly it
will not rotate on its supports.
The surface of hob, Ignition Pin(S), Thermocouple
(T) and burners need to be cleaned after each time
they are used with warm soapy water, rinsed and
then dried well to keep them in good condition.
Never clean when the top and components are still
warm. Do not use metal or abrasive pads, abrasive
powders or corrosive spray products. Never leave
vinegar, coffee, milk, salty water, lemon or tomato
juice for any length of time on the surfaces.
•
To replace gas and electrical components, that
are lodged inside the hob, it is enough to
remove the work top unscrewing the fixing
screws of the burners
•
Replace the seal each time you change a tap in
order to guarantee a perfect tightness between
body and rail.
