MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Important Advice
Before cleaning the Hob, ensure the appliance has cooled down. Remove the plug from
the socket or (if connected directly) switch off the electricity supply.
When cleaning the enamelled, varnished or chrome sections, use warm soapy water
or a non caustic detergent. For stainless steel use an appropriate cleaning solution.
Hotplates should only be cleaned with a cotton cloth coated with vaseline or seed oil.
Never use abrasives, corrosive detergents, bleaching agents or acids. Avoid any acid
or alkaline substances (lemon, juice, vinegar etc.) on the enamelled, varnisched or stain-
less steel sections.
The burners can be cleaned with soapy water. To restore their original shine, use a
household stainless steel cleaner. After cleaning, dry the burners and replace.
It is important the Burners are replaced correctly.
This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended, domestic
cooking, and any other use will be considered improper and could therefore be danger-
ous. The Manufacturer will not be responisble for any damage or loss resulting from
improper use.

Only pans which have smooth flat bases should be used on the electric hotplates. The
size of the pan should be as close as possible to the diameter of the hotplate, and ne-
ver smaller (see Fig. 9). The base of the pan should be dry and spillages should be
avoi-
ded. Empty pans should not be left on the plates, nor should the plates left switched
on without a pan.
THE GAS HOBS WITH ONE ELECTRIC
PLATE ARE FITTED WITH A PAN SUP-
PORT TO BE USED FOR RESTING PNA
WHEN THE PLATE IS NOT IN USE.
WHEN THE HOTPLATE IS SWITCHED
ON THE PAN SUPPORT MUST BE LIF-
TED UP TO ALLOW THE PAN TO BE
PLACED IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH
THE HOTPLATE.

ATTENTION: When cleaning the hob, take care to replace the burners correctly,
this will ensure that the ignition point is not blocked.
GENERAL ADVICE
For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner size as
follows:
— Small from 6 to 12 cm.
— Medium from 12 to 18 cm. — Large from 18 to 24 cm.
— Double ring from 24 to 28 cm. — Maxi from 24 to 28 cm.
— Fish from 26 to 28 cm.;
Rectangular pan max 210x370 - min. 150x290 mm.
For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not
overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with concave or convex base should not be used.
WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguehed, turn the knob to the off posi-
tion and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.
To protect the glass lid from damage and in the interests of safety, the burners/plates
must be turned off and the burner/pan support/plate area must be cool before closing
the lid down.
Use of electric hotplates (electric hotplates)
For the best use of the electric hotplates and to minimise energy consumption, the fol-
lowing recommendations should be noted.
A neon indicator light adjacent to the control knob will glow when the electric plate is
in use.
