Switching the appliance off

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.
