Maintenance

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.
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.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the
burner covers are correctly placed on the diffuser.
Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.
If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never
use a knife, scraper or similar to clean the point where it
joins the metal.
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will
save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.)
on the hob.
Where possible, do not allow salt to come into contact
with the surface of the electric hob.
The ring cover of the double or triple flame burner and
stainless steel parts such as hotplate rings, top sheet and
the area around the burners may become discoloured
over time. This is normal because of the high
temperatures. Each time the appliance is used these
parts should be cleaned with a product that is suitable for
stainless steel.
The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area
around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped
off.
