Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap
and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts
once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on
food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck
to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and
grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the
pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and
scrub with a non-wire brush.
Alternatively, the pan supports can be put in the dishwasher.
Use the dishwasher manufacturer's recommended detergent. If
the pan supports are very dirty, they should be cleaned
previously.
Do not put the burner caps in the dishwasher.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that
these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan
support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water
droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking
may damage the enamel.

Trouble shooting

Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved.
Before calling the Technical Assistance Service, bear in mind
the following advice:
Fault
The general electrical sys-
tem is malfunctioning.
The automatic switching
on function does not work.
The burner flame is not uni-
form.
The gas flow is not normal
or there is no gas.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on the
burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps are
correctly positioned before
using the appliance.
Possible cause
Defective fuse.
The automatic safety switch or circuit breaker has
tripped.
There may be food or cleaning products stuck
between the ignition sparkers and the burners.
The burners are wet.
The burner caps are not correctly positioned.
The appliance is not earthed, is poorly connected
or the earthing is faulty.
The burner components are not correctly posi-
tioned.
The grooves on the burner are dirty.
The gas supply is blocked by gas taps.
If the gas is supplied from a gas cylinder, check
that it is not empty.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner
caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.
Caution!
Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.
■
Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp
■
implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food
from the hob.
Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to clean
■
the point where the glass meets the burner trims, the metal
frames or the glass/aluminium panels, if fitted.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will
prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you
will save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may scratch
it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp objects on the
glass. Never strike any part of the hob.
Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and
vegetables will scratch the glass surface.
Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar which may
have spilt, should be cleaned off the hotplate immediately,
using the glass scraper.
Avoid spilling salt on the surface of the electric hob.
Solution
Check the fuse in the main fuse box and change it
if it is damaged.
Check the main control panel to see if the auto-
matic safety switch or circuit breaker has tripped.
The space between the ignition sparker and the
burner must be clean.
Dry the burner caps carefully.
Check that the burner caps are correctly posi-
tioned.
Contact the installation technician.
Correctly place the parts on the appropriate
burner.
Clean the grooves on the burner.
Open all gas taps.
Change the gas cylinder.
Pans should be placed on the
hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do
not place excessive weight on
it.
