CAUTION! Make sure that the
bottoms of pots do not stand above
the control knob, otherwise the flame
heats the control knob up.
CAUTION! Make sure that pot
handles are not above the front edge
of the cooktop.
CAUTION! Make sure that the pots
are placed centrally on the burner in
order to get maximum stability and to
get lower gas consumption.

CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with clean bottom.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no
effect on how the hob operates.
• Use a special cleaner applicable for the surface
of the hob.
Stainless steel
• Wash stainless steel parts with water, and then
dry them with a soft cloth.
• To remove burn food, fat and stubborn stains,
let them soak for a few minutes in a small
amount of mild detergent before cleaning.
• Use cleaning products designed specifically for
cleaning stainless steel in order to protect the
steel surfaces.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
corrosive chemicals such as chlorides, do not
clean the surface with disinfectants, stain or rust
removers and immersion cleaners.
PAN SUPPORTS
The pan supports are not resistant to
washing in a dishwasher. They must
be washed by hand.
1. Remove the pan supports to easily clean the
hob.
Be very careful when you replace
the pan supports to prevent the
hob top from damage.
2. The enamel coating occasionally can have
rough edges, so be careful when you wash the
pan supports by hand and dry them. If
necessary, remove stubborn stains with a paste
cleaner.
3. After you clean the pan supports, make sure
that they are in correct positions.
4. For the burner to operate correctly, make sure
that the arms of the pan supports are aligned
with the centre of the burner.
CLEANING THE HOB
• Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic
foil, sugar and food with sugar. If not, the dirt
can cause damage to the hob. Take care to
avoid burns.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently cool:
limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny
metallic discoloration. Clean the hob with a
moist cloth and non-abrasive detergent. After
cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.
