CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper routine maintenance and cleaning
of the appliance can significantly extend its
trouble-free operation.
Before cleaning or other mainte-
nance work, always unplug the
appliance or use the main electri-
cal system circuit breaker to cut off
power. Do not begin cleaning until
the hob has cooled. Do not use
abrasive scouring powders.
Do not use steam cleaning equip-
ment for cleaning.
Burners, hob grid
If the burners and grid become soiled,
remove them from the hob and wash in
warm water with some dishwashing liquid.
Wipe dry. Once the grid is removed, thor
-
oughly clean the area under the burner
and wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Flame
outlets and burner head must be clean at
all times, see figure below. Clean the gas
nozzles using a thin copper wire. Do not
use steel wire or ream the holes.
All burner parts must be always
dry. Water droplets may block the
gas flow and cause the burner to
operate incorrectly.
Make sure that burner is correctly re-
assembled after cleaning.
