Maintenance and Cleaning

Operation

Hob burners

To light a burner:

l

push in the relevant control knob and turn it

anticlockwise to maximum position;

l

then adjust the flame as required.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to

zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only

use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of

the burner used (see table).

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 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.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than

the recommended size, the flame will spread

beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the

handle to overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as

the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the

flame so that it will barely keep the liquid

simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please

contact your local Zanussi Service Force Centre.
