GENERAL ADVICE
✓ Before you begin cleaning you must
ensure that the hob is switched off.
It is advisable to clean when the
appliance is cold and especially when
cleaning the enamelled parts.
✓ All enamelled surfaces have to be
washed with soapy water or some
other non-abrasive product with a
sponge and are to be dried preferably
with a soft cloth.
✓ Avoid leaving alkaline or acid
substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.)
on the surfaces.
COOKING HOB WITH
GLASS LID (optional)
✓ Do not close the glass lid when the
gas burner or electrical plates are
still hot and when the oven, installed
below the cooking hob, is on or still
hot.
✓ Do not rest hot pans or heavy
objects on the cooker lid.
✓ Remove any spillages from the
surface of the lid before opening.

ENAMELLED PARTS
✓ All the enamelled parts must be
cleaned with a sponge and soapy
water only or other non-abrasive
products.
✓ Dry preferably with a chamois leather.
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 ELEMENTS
✓ Stainless steel parts must be rinsed
with water and dried with a soft and
clean cloth or with a chamois leather.
✓ For persistent dirt, use specific non-
abrasive products available commer-
cially or a little hot vinegar.
✓ Note: regular use could cause dis-
colouring around the burners,
because of the high flame tempera-
ture.
CONTROL KNOB
✓ The control knobs may be removed for
cleaning but care should be taken not
to damage the seal.
GAS TAPS
✓ Periodic lubrication of the gas taps
must be carried out by specialist
personnel only.
✓ In the event of operating faults in the
gas taps, call the Service Department.
