Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
Before using for the first time clean the
hob and all removable parts as follows:
^ The removable parts of the gas
burner assembly can be washed in a
mild solution of water and
washing-up liquid. Wipe dry and
reassemble in the correct order (see
"Cleaning and care").
^ Clean the stainless steel or ceramic
surface with a damp cloth only, and
then wipe dry.
Do not use washing up liquid on the
ceramic surface as it can leave a
blue sheen which may be difficult to
remove.

Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any vapours will
dissipate after a short time and do not
indicate a faulty connection or
appliance.
