ADJUSTING MINIMUM GAS SETTING OF TAPS
To ensure that the minimum setting is correctly adjusted,
remove the knob and proceed as follows:
•
tighten the screw to reduce the height of the flame (-)
•
loosen the screw to increase the height of the flame (+)
The adjustment must be performed with the tap in minimum
gas setting position (small flame)
.
•
The primary air of the burners does not need to be
adjusted.
•
At this stage, light up the burners and turn the knobs
from max position
to minimum position
to
check flame stability.
Upon completion of adjustment, reseal using sealing wax or
an equivalent material.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To maintain your hob in perfect conditions, clean it after every
use, removing any food spills.
Before any cleaning operation, disconnect the hob from the mains and wait for it to cool down.
CLEANING THE HOB SURFACE
•
All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and neutral detergent.
•
The stainless steel surface may become stained in the event of prolonged contact with hard water or aggressive
detergents. Any food spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.
Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with
specific cleaners for stainless steel surfaces. Remove baked-on dirt from the glass ceramic surface using the scraper tool
(if supplied) and proprietary detergents. Food spills should be cleaned off before they bake onto the glass-ceramic
surface.
•
Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.
•
Do not use steam cleaners.
•
Do not use flammable products.
•
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt or lemon juice on the hob.
CLEANING THE HOB PARTS
•
Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.
•
Clean them by hand using warm water and mild detergent, carefully removing any food residues and checking that none
of the burner openings is clogged.
•
Rinse and dry carefully.
•
Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.
•
When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned with the burner and that the burners are fitted
properly into their respective housings.
•
The end section of electric ignition plugs and safety thermocouples must also be cleaned thoroughly in order to ensure
correct operation. Check these items frequently, and if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Any baked-on food
should be removed with a toothpick or needle.
Note: to avoid damaging the electric ignition device, do not use it when the burners are not in their housing.
