8.2.2
 
The electric element 
After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the 
electric element must be treated with specific cleaning products which 
are available on the market. This necessary operation prevents 
oxidisation (rust formation). 
 
 
  
8.2.3
 
The cover 
 
  Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never 
use abrasive sponges or detergents.
 
Never lower the cover when burners or electric elements are on or 
still hot. 
 
   
 
 
8.3 
Preventive maintenance 
This appliance does not need any special maintenance. However, a 
few 
 
simple operations have to be carried out periodically to prevent 
malfunctioning: 
 
 
  Burners:  the burners must be cleaned periodically to ensure correct 
combustion; make sure that all the openings and flame ports are clean 
and free of obstacles, and that the burners rest firmly on their supports. 
 
 
 
 
  Gas connection: the gas connection must be checked periodically.  
 
 
 
 
  Flexible pipes: if a flexible pipe is used, it must be inspected 
periodically (once a year) for leakages: if the surface of the pipe 
appears rigid and cracked, disconnect immediately the cooker from the 
gas supply and replace the pipe with a new one. 
 
 
 
 
  Valves:  if the gas valves get stuck or hard to turn, they need to be 
cleaned and re-greased; this operation must be carried out by an 
authorised person.
