DON'Ts
NEVER use abrasive products,
sharp instruments, steel scourers,
knives, etc... to remove bits of
hardened food that have stuck to the
hob, pan supports, burners or
electric hotplates.
DO NOT use steam cleaning
machines to clean the hob, this
could damage it.
Avoid spilling acidic liquids (such as
lemon juice or vinegar) on your
cooking hob.
DOs
Once the appliance is cool, use a
sponge, water and soap. Wipe
away all spilled liquids as soon as
spillage occurs to save unnecessary
effort at a later stage.
In order to keep the burners and the
pan supports clean they should be
periodically cleaned by sumerging
them in soapy water and scrubbing
them with a non-metallic brush so
that all holes and grooves are
perfectly clean and free from dirt.
This will ensure correct flames.
Always dry the burner covers and
the pan supports if they have
become wet.
After cleaning and drying the
burners, make sure the burner
covers are correctly placed on the
burner´s flame diffuser.
The lid of the triple-flame burner and stainless steel parts such as top sheet and the area around the burners may
become discoloured over time. This is NORMAL because of the high temperatures. Each time the appliance is used
these parts should be cleaned with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.
After washing the pan supports, dry them completely before cooking with them again. Drops of water or damp patches
on the surfaces when you begin cooking may cause deterioration of the enamel.
The pan supports on your cooking hob are fitted with rubber rests. Take care when you clean them, as they might
come off, leaving your pan support without protection, and it may scratch the cooking hob.
