7.3 Cleaning the hob
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, salt, sugar and food with sugar,
otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to
the hob. Take care to avoid burns.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently
cool: tomato, ketchup, mayonnaise,
mustard, limescale rings, water rings, fat
stains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean
the hob with a moist cloth and a non-
abrasive detergent. After cleaning, wipe
the hob dry with a soft cloth.
• To clean the enamelled parts, caps and
crowns, wash them with warm soapy
water and dry them carefully before you
put them back on.
7.4 Cleaning the spark plug
This feature is obtained through a ceramic
ignition candle with a metal electrode. Keep
these components well clean to prevent
difficult lighting and check that the burner
crown holes are not obstructed.
7.5 Periodic maintenance
