CLEANING
In order to keep the hob in peak condition, clean it properly each time it is used, first allowing it to cool
down.
Never remove the knobs.
Enamelled parts
All enamelled parts must only be washed with a sponge and soapy water or other, specific, non-
abrasive products. On completion, dry thoroughly.
Stainless steel hobs
Stainless steel hobs must be cleaned with a damp cloth and specific commercial products.
After rinsing, dry, using a chamois leather if possible.
Grids
The hob's enamelled grids are dishwasher-friendly.
Stainless steel grids may turn bluish in colour in the burner area because of the high temperature.
This effect can be reduced using ordinary commercial steel-cleaner sponges.
Burners
The burners, which consist of two pieces, can be removed and washed with suitable products. After
cleaning, they must be dried thoroughly and put correctly back into place.
In models with electric ignition, check that the electrode "E" (fig. 14) is always clean.
In models with safety valve, clean the probe "T" (fig. 14) to ensure that the safety valve can operate
properly. Both the electrode and the probe must be cleaned gently. On completion, put the burners
back in place with care.
To prevent damage to the electric ignition system, do not use it when the burners are not fitted.
Electric plates
The electric plates must be cleaned when they are just slightly warm. Clean with a damp rag and
finish with a cloth dipped in mineral oil.
MAINTENANCE
Appliances do not require any special maintenance, but users are advised to have them checked at
least every two years.
If the knobs become stiff or a smell of gas is noticed, turn off the mains tap and call the after-sales
service.
The faulty tap must be replaced together with its gasket.
