CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!
Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the hob has cooled
down, especially when cleaning the enamelled parts.
Trivets (utensil supports)
•
Enamelled parts must only be washed with a sponge and soapy
water or with non-abrasive products. Rinse with clean water. Dry
with soft cloth.
Burners
•
Ensure burners are cool. Remove trivets from hob. Remove the
burners enamelled cap (C) and aluminium burner crown (F).
•
Wash down with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry
with a clean soft cloth.
•
Use a cotton bud, toothbrush or some other item to clean out any
incrustations or dirt from the four holes marked (H).
•
Replace burners and ensure they are correctly repositioned over the
igniter (S) and thermocouple (T). The igniter (S) must be clean for
trouble free sparking. Test burner ignition and burner flame for
correct operation.
•
The DCC (wok) burner does not fit over the igniter or thermocouple
but must be placed on its supports. If the burner is placed correctly it
will not rotate on its supports.
Toughened glass panel
•
Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.
•
The toughened glass hob of the hotplate must be cleaned regularly (e.g. weekly) to
ensure long life expectancy of the hotplate.
•
Wash down with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry with a soft cloth.
•
NOTE: Ensure that wiping is done along the grain of the toughened glass to prevent any
slightly crisscross scratching patterns from appearing.
•
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning agents will damage it.
You should remove any residues with warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects as these will damage the hob surface.
•
Ensure the toughened glass plate and the cooking pans are clean and clear of any
foreign particles. An unclean surface may cause charring which may result in
discolouration or start a fire.
