2Cleaning and maintenance
Cl eani ng and mai nt enance
Cleaning
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 caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.
Caution!
■ Do not remove the control knobs when cleaning the
appliance. The appliance may be damaged if
moisture finds its way inside.
■ 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 implement to
clean the point where it joins the metal.
Maintenance
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will
prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface
and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Due to the high temperatures endured, the wok burner
and the stainless steel zones (grease drip tray, burner
outline, etc.) can change colour. This is normal. After
each use, clean these areas with a product that is
suitable for stainless steel.
It is recommended that the cleaning product available
from our Technical Assistance Service (code 311499)
is used regularly.
Caution!
The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area
around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be
wiped off.
Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar,
etc.) on the hob.
3Trouble shooting
Tr oubl e shoot i ng
Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily
resolved. Before calling the Technical Assistance
Service, bear in mind the following advice:
Fault Possible cause Remedial action
Electrical operation is gener-
ally impaired.
Defective circuit breaker. Check inside the fuse box to see if any of the fuses are
damaged. Replace if necessary.
The circuit breaker or one of the residual-current circuit
breakers has been triggered.
Check the control panel to see if the automatic circuit
breaker or a fault current switch has failed.
Automatic ignition is not work-
ing.
There may be remnants of food or cleaning agent resi-
dues trapped between the ignition plugs and the burners.
The spaces in between the ignition plugs and the burners
must be clean.
The burners are wet. Carefully dry the burner caps.
The burner caps have not been fitted correctly. Make sure that the caps have been fitted correctly.
The appliance is not earthed or has not been connected
correctly, or the earth cable is damaged.
Contact an electrician.
Automatic ignition is not work-
ing and the ”‚ or ”ƒ symbol
appears in the display.
The electronics have overheated. Switch the burners off or use only the lowest heat setting
until the electronics have cooled down sufficiently.
The burner flame is uneven. The burner parts have not been fitted correctly. Fit the burner parts to the relative burner correctly.
The burner slots are dirty. Clean the burner slots.
The gas does not appear to be
flowing correctly or there is no
