Igniters and injectors:
If the igniters become dirty
with a small, stiff (non-metallic) brush
(3.1.1).
The gas injectors are located in the centre
of each burner in the well shape. Ensure
that you do not block them during cleaning,
which could impair your hob's performance.
If you do block them, use a safety pin to
unblock the injector
Pan holders and gas burners:
For persistent stains, use a non-abrasive
cream, and then rinse with clean water.
Carefully wipe each part of the burner
before using your hob again.
Electric hotplate:
The hotplate is protected with a black
coating; the use of any abrasive product
should be avoided. After each use, wipe it
with an oily rag.
If the plate starts to rust, remove the rust
(with emery cloth, for example) and replace
the black coating with a commercially
available
high
temperature
product.

Use a scouring cream to clean the hob's
enamel. Shine using a dry cloth.

tough stains, use products designed for

To clean the hob's stainless steel, use a
sponge and soapy water or a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner.

done prior to use. Turn off all electrical and
gas controls.
