Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
GB
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such
as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these
may scratch the surface beyond repair.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
• It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp
sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• The removable parts of the burners should be
washed frequently with warm water and soap and
any burnt-on substances removed.
• For hobs which ligth automatically, the terminal
part of the electronic instant lighting devices
should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet
holes should be checked for blockages.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, rinse and dry any remaining drops
of water.
Gas tap maintenance
Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult
to turn. If this happens, the tap must be replaced.
! This procedure must be performed by a qualified
technician authorised by the manufacturer.
