How to Keep Your Gas hob in Shape
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your gas hob, disconnect it from
the electrical power supply (included battery power).
To extend the lifespan of the gas hob, it is absolutely indispensable that it
is cleaned carefully, thoroughly and usually, please keep in mind to the
following:
- The enameled parts and the glass top, must be washed with warm water without using abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;
- The removable parts of the burners should be washed usually with warm water and soap, make sure to remove caked-on substances;
- Automatic igniter pin, the end must be cleaned carefully and usually, make sure ignition keep working normally.
- Stainless steel top plate and other steel parts can be stained if keep touch with high-concentration calcareous water or corrosive detergents (containing phosphorus). To extend the lifespan, we advise these parts be rinsed thoroughly with water and dry them by blowing, It is a good idea to clean up any spills too.
- After glass hob working, the surface must be cleaned by a damp cloth to remove dust or food residues. Glass surface should be cleaned regularly with warm water and non-corrosive detergent.
First, to remove all food residues or greases with a cleaning scraper, e.g.
Cleaning scraper (not supplied).
While the cooking surface is warm, clean it with a suitable cleaning product
and paper towels, then rub with a damp cloth and dry surface. Such as aluminum
foil, plastic items, objects made of synthetic material, sugar or foods with a
high sugar content that have been melted onto the surface, it must be removed
immediately.
While the cooking surface is still hot, clean it with a scraper and a
transparent protective film which prevent to make more dirt. This also protect
the surface from damage caused by food with a high sugar content.
Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning products, these holds true for
chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and stain removers;
- Cleaning the grill/pan support, it is recommended to clean it while it is still hot. To move grill away from the hob and put it in sink, remove the food residues or grease first, after grill has cooled, rinse it with water.
Greasing the Gas Valves
Over time, the gas valves may be sticked, and it is difficult to turn on/off.

Practical Advice
Practical Advice on Using the Burners
For best performance, follow these general guidelines:
- Use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) in order to prevent the flame to reach the side of the pot or pan;
- Always use cookware with a flat bottom and keep the lid on;
- When the contents come to a boil, turn the knob to “Low”.
Burners | Wok | Rapid | Semi-Rapid | Auxiliary |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ø pans in cm | 24-26 | 22-24 | 16-20 | 10-14 |
Ø Cookware bottom diamet er (cm)
To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner and Nozzle Specifications”.
Verify that the flame of the worktop burners is completely blue and with a regular aspect as shown below:
Do not place anything, e.g., flame tamer, asbestos mat, between pan and pan support as serious damage to the appliance may result.
Do not remove the pan support and enclose the burner with a wok stand as this will concentrate and deflect heat onto the hotplate.
Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan support or deflect flame onto the hotplate.
Locate pan centrally over the burner so that it is stable and does not overhang the appliance.
Use only a wok support supplied or recommended by the manufacturer of the appliance.

SURFACE BURNERS
- To replace the nozzles of the surface burners, lift up the burners and unscrew the nozzles shipped with the range using a 7 mm (socket wrench).
- Replace nozzles using the conversion set supplied with the range. Each nozzle has a number indicating its flow diameter printed on the body.
After you have converted the gas hob to another gas type, make sure you have placed a label containing that information on the appliance.
Valve & Flame adjustment
Valve adjustment
Valve adjustment should be done with the control knob set at Burner ON saving
flame position. Remove the knob, and adjust the flame with a tiny screwdriver
(see below).
To check the adjusted flame: heat the burner at full open position for 10 minutes. Then turn the knob into the saving setting. The flame should not extinguish nor move to the nozzle. If it extinguishes or moves to the nozzle, readjust the valves.
Flame selection
As the burners are adjusted correctly, the flame should be light blue, and the
inner flame should be clear. The size of flame depends on the position of the
related control knob.
See above for various operating options (flame size selection); the burner should be set at a large flame during the initial phase of cooking, it makes food boil quickly. Then should turn knob to the saving flame position to maintain the cooking. It is possible to adjust the flame size stepless.
It is prohibited to adjust the flame between the Burner OFF and Burner ON
large flame positions. High quantity of energy can be conserved if the hob is
used correctly, parameters are designed correctly, and appropriate cookware is
used.
It is a prerequisite for efficient and energy-saving operation of hob that the
burners are kept clean at all times (in particular the flame slots and
nozzles).
