GENERAL CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the hob from the electrical
power supply and wait until it cools before cleaning
and/or doing maintenance work. In order to keep
your hob in good condition, you must keep it clean,
removing any food residue each time you use it.
Cleaning the hob surface:
• the stainless steel surface may become stained if
it comes into contact with hard water over along
period of time or with extremely strong,
aggressive cleaning products. Always clean any
spillages as quickly as possible (sauce, water,
etc.). Wash with lukewarm water and a mild
detergent, rinse and dry carefully with a soft
cloth, or a cloth designed to clean stainless steel.
Only use stainless steel cleaning products on the
stainless steel trim.
• Do not use harsh or corrosive products, chloride
based products or scourers.
• Do not steam clean.
• Do not use inflammable products.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE GAS
BURNERS
The pan supports and burners can be removed to
make cleaning easier.
1. Hand wash carefully in hot water with a mild
detergent making sure that all the ingrained dirt
is removed and the openings on the burner are
not blocked. The internal burner cap (D), on
page 12 is made of brass and is subject to a
natural burnishing when it heats up. Clean it
each time you use it with a product specifically
designed for brass. Use hot water and a mild
detergent to clean the wok burner external cap
(item (C) on page 12). Never use harsh
products, or scourers that will damage the
special surface coverings.
2. Rinse and dry carefully.
3. Correctly refit the burners and caps in their
place.
4. Make sure that when replacing the pan
supports, the pan support is located correctly
for each burner.
Note: Hobs fitted with electronic ignition and
thermocouples must have the ends of the igniters
and thermocouples cleaned regularly and
frequently in order to operate. Please clean them
very carefully with a damp cloth. Any remaining
ingrained food should be removed carefully with a
toothpick, or similar.

• Do not leave acidic or alkaline based products
like vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice
lying on the hob, as this will damage the hob and
'etch' the glass surface.
Note: With time, regular use of the hob could
cause some discolouration around the
burners. This is caused by the high
temperature of the flame and will not affect
the operation or performance of the hob.
To avoid damaging the electronic ignition only
operate with the burners and pan supports
correctly in place.
