Maintenance and Cleaning
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.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water,
and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used
with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to
remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic and
metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep these
components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties, and
check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
Cast Iron Pan Supports
The hob has cast iron pan supports.
Take care when removing them. They are very heavy and
could damage the hob or your kitchen furniture if you let
them fall down.
To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob. When
removing the pan supports, lift them up as shown in the
diagram. Never turn the pan supports on the hinges, this
could damage them.
Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If
necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel
wool pad can be used with caution.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
