Maintenance and Cleaning
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.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top and the aluminium frame
using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which
a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use
of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them
by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling
process occasionally leaves rough edges.
If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner. Never use steel wool pads or acids.
Something Not Working?
If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force
Centre.
IMPORTANT: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation,
a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
SYMPTOM
#
There is no spark when lighting the gas
#
The gas ring burns unevenly
If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate
correctly, contact your local Service Force Centre.
Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of
purchase for any in-guarantee service calls.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps 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.
SOLUTION
$
Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical
supply is switched on

$

replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
$
Check the main jet is not blocked and the burner
crown is clear of food particles.
$
Check the burner cap and crown have been

In-guarantee customers should ensure that the
above checks have been made as the engineer will

electrical breakdown.
