WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface
have no effect on how the hob operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the
surface of the hob.
• Wash stainless steel parts with water,
and then dry them with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the hob
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar,
otherwise, 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 a
non-abrasive detergent. After cleaning,
wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.
• To clean the enamelled parts, caps and
crowns, wash them with warm soapy
water and dry them carefully before you
put them back on.
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.
Pan supports
The pan supports are not resistant to
washing in a dishwasher. They must
be washed by hand.
1. Remove the pan supports to easily
clean the hob.
Be very careful when you replace
the pan supports to prevent the
hob top from damage. Use both
hands as pan supports are heavy.
2. After you clean the pan supports, make
sure that they are in correct positions.
3. For the burner to operate correctly,
make sure that the arms of the pan
supports are aligned with the centre of
the burner.

of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
