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.
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.
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.
