Care & maintenance
Cleaning the hob surface
• All the enamelled and glass parts should be
cleaned with warm water and neutral solution.
• Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by
calcareous water or aggressive detergents if left in
contact for too long. Any food spills (water, sauce,
coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.
• Clean with warm water and neutral detergent,
and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove
baked-on dirt with specific cleaners for stainless
steel surfaces.
• NOTE: clean stainless steel only with soft cloth or
sponge.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive products,
chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.
• Do not use steam cleaning appliances.
• Do not use flammable products.
• Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as
vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice on the
hob.
Cleaning the hob parts
• Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to
be cleaned.
• Clean them by hand with warm water and non-
abrasive detergent, removing any food residues
and checking that none of the burner openings is
clogged.
• Rinse and dry
• Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the
respective housings.
• When replacing the grids, make sure that the
panstand area is aligned with the burner.
• Models equipped with electrical ignition plugs
and safety device require thorough cleaning of
the plug end in order to ensure correct operation.
Check these items frequently, and if necessary,
clean them with a damp cloth. Any baked-on food
should be removed with a toothpick or needle.
• NOTE: to avoid damaging the electric ignition
device, do not use it when the burners are not
in their housing.
Troubleshooting guide

especially that the gas supply tap is open.
• The gas cylinder (liquid gas) is not empty.
• The burner openings are not clogged.
• The plug end is not dirty.
• All the burner parts have been positioned correctly.
• There are no draughts near the hob.
2. The burner does not stay lit
Check that:
• When lighting the burner, the knob has been
pressed for enough time to activate the
protection device.
• The burner openings are not clogged near the
thermocouple.
• The end of the safety device is not dirty.
• The minimum gas setting is correct (see relevant
paragraph).
3. The containers are not stable
Check that:
