CLEANING THE GAS HOB
CAUTION
Always disconnect or isolate the hob assembly from the Gas and Electricity supply, before
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation.
To ensure correct and efficient operation of the Hob assembly, periodically wash/wipe all of the surfaces of
the assembly with a damp cloth.
Periodically wash in luke warm water
after they have cooled to touch
and remove any heavy deposits
gently from any of the following parts:
* the trivets – or the enamelled pan supports,
* the burner cap,
* the burner head,
* the burner-ring; if supplied.
Note: All of the components are freely mounted above the Hob surface and are easily removed without
tools.
* Never use aggressive or abrasive detergents or cleaning powders.
* All parts should be thoroughly rinsed and dried before re-assembly.
*
Do not allow
: cooking overspill, splashings of vinegar, coffee, milk, salted water, lemon or tomato juice,
or other corrasive material to remain on the surface of the Hob or components for any extended period of
time.
* Ensure that the Ignition plug is clean and free of foreign matter.
WARNINGS:
Ensure the following is carried out before re-assembling the components.
Check that the burner head slots are not clogged with foreign matter – carbon etc.
Ensure that the enamelled cap, burner head and ring; if supplied, are correctly positioned on the
burner base – wich protrudes through the Hob surface. The assembly must feel steady.
The Trivets or Pan-supports must be positioned, so that the rounded corners are set adjacent to
the side-edges of the Hob top-plate.
Do not force the Gas cocks/taps, if they are difficult to operate – open or close – contact the
Tecnical Assistance Service for advise or repairs.
There are Commercially available products that keep the surfaces clean and resistant to possible
formation of rusting, should the surface be damaged.
Don't use steam jets for the equipment cleaning.
