Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it
with soap and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the respective
burner parts once they have cooled down. If any
residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.),
however little, it will become stuck to the surface and
more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves
must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue
on the pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water
and scrub with a non-wire brush.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure
that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose
and the pan support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely.
Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start
of cooking may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the
burner caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.

Possible cause
Defective fuse.
The automatic safety switch or circuit breaker has
tripped.
There may be food or cleaning products stuck between
the ignition sparkers and the burners.
The burners are wet.
The burner caps are not correctly positioned.
The appliance is not earthed, is poorly connected or the
earthing is faulty.
The burner components are not correctly positioned.
The grooves on the burner are dirty.
The gas supply is blocked by gas taps.
If the gas is supplied from a gas cylinder, check that it is
not empty.
Caution!
Do not remove the control knobs when cleaning the
■
appliance. The appliance may be damaged if
moisture finds its way inside.
Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the
■
hob.
If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel,
■
never use a knife, scraper or similar implement to
clean the point where it joins the metal.
Do not put the burner components in the
■
dishwasher.
Maintenance
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will
prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface
and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Due to the high temperatures endured, the wok burner
and the stainless steel zones (grease drip tray, burner
outline, etc.) can change colour. This is normal. After
each use, clean these areas with a product that is
suitable for stainless steel.
It is recommended that the cleaning product available
from our Technical Assistance Service (code 311499)
is used regularly.
Caution!
The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area
around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be
wiped off.
Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar,
etc.) on the hob.
Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily
resolved. Before calling the Technical Assistance
Service, bear in mind the following advice:
Solution
Check the fuse in the main fuse box and change it if it is
damaged.
Check the main control panel to see if the automatic safety
switch or circuit breaker has tripped.
The space between the ignition sparker and the burner
must be clean.
Dry the burner caps carefully.
Check that the burner caps are correctly positioned.
Contact the installation technician.
Correctly place the parts on the appropriate burner.
Clean the grooves on the burner.
Open all gas taps.
Change the gas cylinder.
