Periodic maintenance
Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe
and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "electrode" 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.
Keep all objects and materials which can melt away from the cooking surface, e.g. plastics,
aluminium foil.
Care should be taken when preparing food or drinks containing sugar. If anything of this nature
accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic surface it must be scraped off immediately while
stlll hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the surface.
The burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burners taps 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.
