Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must
DISCONNECT
the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid
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 cleaning product such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water,
and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used
with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to
remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition candle
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"candle" and a metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter
C
). Keep
these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting,
and check that the burner crown holes are not
obstructed.
Always clean the hob broiler after it has cooled down
using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water.
Dry the broiler before using it. From time to time it will be
necessary to oil the broiler when it is still warm, using a
little vaseline or food oil.
Important!
For the proper functioning of the broiler, refit
its screen (as shown in the relevant diagramm).
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round
bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be
used on the double crown burner, and should not be used
with any other type of wok or pan.
When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the
frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as
shown in the diagram.
