Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your

appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power supply.

To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely

indispensable that it be cleaned carefully and

thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the

following:

· Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.

• Enameled and glass parts must be washed with

lukewarm water without using abrasive powders or cor-

rosive substances that could damage them;

• The removable parts of the burners should be washed

frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to

remove caked-on substances;

• On cooktops with automatic ignition, the end of the

electronic ignition device must be cleaned carefully and

frequently, making sure that the gas holes are not

clogged;

• the top must be cleaned with glass cleaning products.

Avoid using abrasive products and abrasive sponges

that could scratch the glass.

• the glass surface should be cleaned regularly with a

soultion of warm water and a non-abrasive detergent.

First, remove all food buildup or grease with a cleaning

scraper, e.g. (not supplied) (Fig. A).

Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a

suitable cleaning product, then rub with a damp cloth

and dry. Sugar or foods with a high sugar content that

have melted onto the surface must be removed

immediatley with a scraper while the cooking surface

is still hot. Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning

products under any circumstances. This holds true for

chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and

stain removers (Fig. B);

Greasing the Taps

The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to

turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.

N.B.: This operation must be performed by a technician

authorised by the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

If the burner does not remain on when set to "Low".

Check to make sure that:

• The gas holes are not clogged.

• There are no draughts near the cooking surface.

• The minimum has been adjusted correctly (see

Installation section, "Minimum Regulation").

If the cookware is not stable.

Check to make sure that:

• The bottom of the cookware is perfectly flat.

• The cookware is centered correctly on the burner .

• The support grids have not been inverted.

If, despite all of these checks, the hob does not function

properly and problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see

KEY CONTACTS, back page), informing them of:

- The type of problem.

- The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as

indicated on the warranty.

IMPORTANT:

Never call upon technicians not authorized by the

manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are

not original.

Before calling service for assistance, check through the

following list, there may be nothing wrong.

First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in

the gas and electrical supplies, and, in particular, that the

gas valves for the mains are open.

If the burner does not light or the flame is not

uniform around the burner.

Check to make sure that:

• The gas holes on the burner are not clogged;

• All of the movable parts that make up the burner are

mounted correctly;

• There are no draughts around the cooking surface.

If the flame does not stay lit on a model with the

Flame Failure device.

Check to make sure that:

• You press the knob all the way in;

• You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate

the flame failure device.

• The gas holes are not clogged in the area corresponding

to the flame failure device.
