Care and maintenance

• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.
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 sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts
and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a
sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water
and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the
removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse well
and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or
corrosive substances.
• The hob grids, burner caps, flame spreader rings
and burners may be removed to make cleaning
easier; wash them in hot water and non-abrasive
detergent, making sure all burnt-on residue is
removed before drying them thoroughly.
• For hobs with electronic ignition, the terminal part of
the electronic lighting devices should be cleaned
frequently and the gas outlet holes should be
checked for blockages.
• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned
after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot
water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a
soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
• Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these
could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
• 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 well and dry thoroughly. Any
remaining drops of water should also be dried.
! Do not close the cover when the burners are alight or
when they are still hot.
Gas tap maintenance
Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult to
turn. If this occurs, the tap must be replaced.
!This procedure must be performed by a qualified
technician authorised by the manufacturer.
Replacing the oven light bulb
1. After disconnecting the oven from the electricity
mains, remove the glass lid
covering the lamp socket (see
figure).
2. Remove the light bulb and
replace it with a similar one:
voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W,
cap E 14.
3. Replace the lid and
reconnect the oven to the electricity supply.
! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting
