Cookware: Works with all types of heat-resistant cookware suitable for gas hobs. The cast iron supports accommodate various pot and pan sizes.
Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the hob to cool completely. Wipe down the enamelled cooktop with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
Burner Cleaning: Periodically remove the burner caps and rings. Wash them in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and ensure they are completely dry before placing them back on the hob. Ensure the small ignition pins and flame spreader holes are clear of debris.
Cast Iron Supports: The removable cast iron supports can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth or, for deeper cleaning, placed in a dishwasher. Ensure they are fully dry before returning them to the hob to prevent rust.
Knob Care: Wipe the control knobs with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Spill Management: Clean spills immediately after the hob has cooled to prevent them from baking onto the surface and becoming harder to remove. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive hob cleaner specifically designed for enamelled surfaces.
