Cleaning And Maintenance - AEG 25742 GM Use And Installation Instructions

Cleaning and maintenance

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.
General cleaning
Wash enamelled parts with lukewarm water and detergent; do not use abrasive
products which might damage them.
Wash the flame caps and burner caps often with boiling water and detergent, taking
care to remove all deposits.
The hob pan stands can also be washed in a dishwasher.
For stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents or specific commercial products.
We strongly advise you not to use scouring pads, steel wool or acids for cleaning.
Hob
Clean the hob regularly with a soft cloth wet with lukewarm water and a little liquid
detergent. Do not use the following products:
- household detergents or bleaches;
- soaped scouring pads not suitable for non-stick utensils;
- steel wool scouring pads;
- stain removers for baths or sinks.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product
such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
Ignition plug
Automatic burner ignition is provided (when in-
stalled) by a ceramic "plug" and a metal electrode
(B in fig. 1). Periodically clean these parts of the
hob thoroughly. In addition, to avoid ignition
difficulties, check that the cavities in the burner
are not obstructed.
To remove deposits from the burner cavities,
remove the cap and separate the two parts (see
diagram on the right). After cleaning, put the two
parts back together and return them correctly to
their position. After washing, replace the hob pan
stands, checking that they are correctly positioned.
