Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your hob,
disconnectitfromthepowersupply.
To extend the life of the hob, it should be cleaned
carefullyand thoroughlyona frequentbasis,keeping in
mindthe following:
• Theenamelled parts must bewashed with warm water
withoutusing abrasivepowdersorcorrosivesubstances
whichcouldruinthem.
• Theremovable parts of the burners should bewashed
frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to
removecaked-onsubstances.
• Onhobs withautomaticignition,the endoftheelectronic
ignitiondevice must becleanedcarefullyandfrequently,
makingsurethatthe gas holes are notclogged.
• Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact
withhighly calcareous water or aggressive detergents
(containingphosphorous)foranextendedperiodoftime.
Itisrecommended that these parts be rinsed thoroughly
with water and then dried well. It is also a good idea to
clean up any spills.
Greasing the Gas Valves
Over time, the gas valves may stick or become difficult to
turn. If this is the case, the must be cleaned on the inside
andtheregreased.
N.B.:This proceduremust beperformedby atechnician
authorizedby the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
If the burner does not remain on when set to "Low".
Check to make sure that:
• Thegasholesare not clogged.
• Thereareno draughts near thecookingsurface.
• Theminimumhasbeenadjustedcorrectly(seeInstallation
section,"MinimumRegulation").
If the cookware is not stable.
Check to make sure that:
• Thebottomofthecookwareisperfectlyflat.
• Thecookware is centeredcorrectlyontheburner .
• Thesupportgridshave not been inverted.
If, despite all of these checks, the hob does not function
properly and problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see
KEYCONTACTS,backpage), informing them of:
-Thetypeof problem.
- The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as
indicatedonthewarranty.
IMPORTANT:
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the
manufacturer,andrefusetoacceptsparepartsthatarenot
original.
Before calling service for assistance, check through the
followinglist,theremaybenothingwrong.
Firstof all, checktoseethatthere are nointerruptionsinthe

valvesfor the mainsare open.
If the burner does not light or the flame is not uniform
aroundtheburner.
Check to make sure that:
• Thegasholeson the burner are notclogged.
• All of the movable parts that make up the burner are
mountedcorrectly.
• Thereare no draughts aroundthecookingsurface.
If the flame does not stay lit on a model with the
FlameFailuredevice.
Check to make sure that:
• You press the knob all the way in.
• You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate
theflamefailuredevice.
• Thegasholesarenot cloggedintheareacorresponding

c) In the case of the 600 mm cooker hoods, besides following
the recommendations in point b), the cabinets should be
positioned next to the hood at a height of at least 540 mm
from the top since this will make it possible to install the lid
andmoveitcorrectly.Thecabinetshouldalwaysbeinstalled
