Removing pan supports
To keep the pan supports in the correct
position, they are put on metal pins
installed in the rear side of the hob. For
easier cleaning, pan supports can be
removed from the hob. Lift up the pan
supports keeping them in horizontal
position as shown in the graphic.
Do not lift the pan supports
at an angle, as this will put
strain on the metal pins. This
can cause damage to the
pins and cause them to
break.
The shape of pan supports and the
amount of burners can be different in
other models of the appliance.

Cleaning the hob
•
Remove immediately:
melted plastic,
plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar.
If not, the dirt can cause damage to
the hob. Take care to avoid burns.
•
Remove when the hob is sufficiently
cool:
limescale rings, water rings, fat
stains, shiny metallic discoloration.
Clean the hob with a moist cloth and
non-abrasive detergent. After
cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft
cloth.
• To clean the enamelled parts, cap
and crown, wash them with warm
soapy water and dry them carefully
before you put them back on.
7.5
Cleaning the spark plug
This feature is obtained through a
ceramic ignition candle with a metal
electrode. Keep these components well
clean to prevent difficult lighting and
check that the burner crown holes are
not obstructed.
7.6
Periodic maintenance
Speak to your local Authorised Service
Centre periodically to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and
the pressure adjuster, if fitted.
