Advice on using the appliance

Melted sugar and spilt foods that have a high sugar content should immediately be removed from
the hotplate using the glass scraper. After washing the pan supports, dry them well before using
them to cook again - if there are still any drops of water or damp patches left when you start
cooking, they could damage the enamel.
When cleaning the pan supports, be careful with the pegs, as they could come loose and scratch
the glass or the frame the next time you use the pan support.

DO NOT
Do not use washing powder,
oven-cleaning sprays or
scourers that might scratch
the glass.
Never use sharp objects
such as metal scourers or
knives to remove the
hardened remains of food
from the surface.
Never use a knife, scraper
or similar device to clean the
area where the glass meets
the trim of the burners or the
decorative metal frame.
Do not slide pans over the
glass because they could
scratch it. In addition, try not
to drop heavy or sharp
objects on the glass. Never
strike any part of the cooking
hob.
Grains of sand that may
come from cleaning fruits
and vegetables will scratch
the glass surface.
DO
After each use, clean the surface
of the respective burner parts
once they are cold. If any bits
are left (overcooked food,
drops of grease etc.),
however few they will become
stuck to the surface and more
difficult to remove later.
To keep the burners and
pan supports clean, you
must clean them
periodically by placing them
in soapy weather and
brushing and with a non-
metallic brush to ensure that
the holes and grooves are
perfectly clean, and can
provide a perfect flame.
Always dry the burner
covers and the pan
supports if they have
become wet.
Use a glass scraper, and
always lay it flat to the glass,
taking special care not to
get it too near to the trim on
the gas burners.
After finishing cleaning, dry all
the burner parts together w ith
their casing. T he ring and the
burner cap must be inserted
w hen placing them on the
burner casing.
M oisture and the incorrect
positioning of the respective
burner parts w ill affect the
uniformity of the flame
generated.
