Cleaning and Maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work.
General cleaning
Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food. The cap and crown of each burner are secured with two screws. To separate the two pieces, lift the cap, turn it upside down, then undo the two fixing screws as shown in Fig. 3 After a thorough cleaning, reassemble the two parts and refit the cap in its correct position on the burner. Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth weel wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent has been added. Avoid the use of the following: - household detergent and bleaches; - impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans; - steel wool pads; - bath/sink stain removers. Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.

Pan supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products. Never use steel wool pads or acids.

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal electrode (Fig.1-lett. C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
