If there is no oven beneath the hob, insert a separator panel that has a surface at least equal to the opening in the
work surface. This panel, that has to close completely the cutout in order to avoid any contact with the bottom
part of the hob, must be positioned at a maximum distance of 150 mm below the upper surface of the work
surface but, in no case less than 20 mm from the bottom of the hob. In the case that you intend to install an oven
beneath the hob, make sure that it is equipped with a cooling system. The manufacturer declines all liability if
another brand oven is installed beneath the hob.
Before installation, make sure that:
- the local gas delivery conditions (nature and pressure) are compatible with the settings of the hob (see the
rating plate and injector table);
- the outer surfaces of the furniture or appliances adjacent to the hob are heat resistant according to local regulations;
- this appliance is not connected to a fume exhaust device. It shall be installed in accordance with current installation
regulations. Particular attention shall be given to the relevant

All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and neutral solution.
Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by calcareous water or aggressive detergents if left in contact for too long. Any
food spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.
• Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with
specific cleaners for stainless steel surfaces.
NOTE: clean stainless steel only with soft cloth or sponge.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.
• Do not use steam cleaning appliances.
• Do not use flammable products.
• Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice on the hob.
If you have a IXELIUM hob, observe the following cleaning recommendation:

• Do not use paper kitchen towel, which can leave traces of streaks on the hob.
CLEANING THE HOB PARTS
•
•
•
•
•
•
Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.
Clean them by hand with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, removing any food residues and checking that none
of the burner openings is clogged.
Rinse and dry
Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.
When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned with the burner.
Models equipped with electrical ignition plugs and safety device require thorough cleaning of the plug end in order to
ensure correct operation. Check these items frequently, and if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Any baked-on
food should be removed with a toothpick or needle.
