7.3 Preventive maintenance
This appliance does not need any special maintenance. However, a few
simple operations have to be carried out periodically to prevent
malfunctioning:
Burners: the burners must be cleaned periodically to ensure correct
combustion; make sure that all the openings and flame ports are clean
and free of obstacles, and that the burners rest firmly on their supports.
Gas connection: the gas connection must be checked periodically.
Flexible pipes: if a flexible pipe is used, it must be inspected
periodically (once a year) for leakages: if the surface of the pipe appears
rigid and cracked, disconnect immediately the cooker from the gas
supply and replace the pipe with a new one.
Valves: if the gas valves get stuck or hard to turn, they need to be
cleaned and re-greased; this operation must be carried out by an
authorised person.
