Cleaning and Maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.
Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
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.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"candle" and a metal electrode (Fig. 1 lett. B). Keep
these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting,
and check that the burner crown holes are not
obstructed.

Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame
will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the
table beside).
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.

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire,
if over-heated.
