Care and maintenance

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 the hob burners can 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.

The cover

If the cooker is fitted with a
glass cover, this cover
should be cleaned using
lukewarm water. Do not use
abrasive products.
It is possible to remove the
cover in order to make
cleaning the area behind
the hob easier. Open the
cover fully and pull it
upwards (

see figure).

!

 Do not close the cover when the burners are alight or

when they are still hot.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If the
seals are damaged, please contact your nearest
Authorised After-sales Service Centre. We recommend
that the oven is not used until the seals have been
replaced.

Gas tap maintenance

Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult to
turn. If this occurs, the tap must be replaced.
