MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Important Advice
Before cleaning the Hob, ensure the appliance has cooled down. Switch off the
electricity supply.
When cleaning the enamelled, varnished or chrome sections, use warm soapy water
or a non caustic detergent. For stainless steel use an appropriate cleaning solution.
Hotplates should only be cleaned with a cotton cloth coated with vaseline or seed oil.
Never use abrasives, corrosive detergents, bleaching agents or acids. Avoid any acid
or alkaline substances (lemon, juice, vinegar etc.) on the enamelled, varnisched or stain-
less steel sections.
The burners can be cleaned with soapy water. To restore their original shine, use a
household stainless steel cleaner. After cleaning, dry the burners and replace.
It is important the Burners are replaced correctly.
This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended, domestic
cooking, and any other use will be considered improper and could therefore be dange-
rous. The Manufacturer will not be responisble for any damage or loss resulting from
improper use.
Lubricating the gas taps
If a gas tap becomes stiff, it should be dismantled, cleaned carefully with petrol and
smeared with a drop of special heat resistant grease.
The following operations should be carried but:
— disconnect the electrical power supply, close the gas supply tap from the mains or
cylinder.
— Remove the hob top plate by removing the corner screws and those under the
burners.
— Remove the two screws holding down the head flange.
— Remove the head flange and the retaining spring on the knob shaft.
— Remove the gas regulation cone, clean it with petrol and smear it with some heat
resistant grease, taking care not to obstruct any holes through which gas must pass.
— Re-assemble all the parts, making sure that the spring and the rotating axis of the
cone fitted to the knob shaft are correctly seated.
Aftercare
Before calling out a Service Engineer please check the following:
— that the plug is correctly inserted and fused;
— that the gas supply is not faulty.
If the fault cannot be identified:
switch off the appliance — do not tamper with it — call the Aftercare Service Centre.
