CLEANING THE HOB AND
CONTROL PANEL
• Before cleaning the hob switch it off and wait
for it to cool down.
• Clean with a cloth wetted with hot water and
soap or water and liquid detergent.
• Do not use products which are abrasive,
corrosive or chlorine based, or steel pads.
• Do not leave acid or alkaline substances
(vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on the hob.
ENAMEL HOB
• Enamelled parts must be washed using a
sponge, with soapy water or other non-
abrasive products. Dry with a soft cloth.
If acid substances such as lemon juice,
tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the
enamel for a long time they will etch it,
making it opaque.
STAINLESS STEEL HOB
• Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with
water and dried with a soft and clean cloth or
with a chamois leather.
• For difficult dirt, use a specific non-abrasive
product available commercially or a little hot
vinegar.
• Note: regular use could cause discolouring
around the burners, because of the high
temperature.
CLEANING THE BURNERS AND
THE GRIDS
• These pieces can be removed and washed
with suitable products.
• After cleaning, the burners and spreaders
must be dried carefully and put back into their
housing correctly.
• It is very important to check the correct
position of the burner spreader because if it
moves out of place serious problems could
occur.
• In appliances with electric ignition make sure
that the electrode remains clean so that the
sparks can strike properly. The spark plugs
must be cleaned very carefully.
N.B.: To avoid damage to the electric ignition,
do not use it when the burners are not in
place.
GAS TAPS
The gas taps should be cleaned regularly and
only by specialised engineers.
If the gas taps are not working correctly, call the
After-Sales Service.
CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF
THE BURNERS
It is very important to check that the burner flame
distributor “F” and the cap “C” have been
correctly positioned (see figure); failure to do so
can cause serious problems.
Check that the electrode “S” is always clean to
ensure trouble-free sparking.
The ignition plug must be very carefully cleaned.
