Care and maintenance
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
!
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for
example, products in spray cans for cleaning
barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust
products, powder detergents or sponges with
abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface
beyond repair.
!
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob
using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent
kitchen towel.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special
glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well
and dry thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable
scraper. Remove spills as soon as possible,
without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid
residues forming crusty deposits. You can
achieve excellent results by using a rust-proof
steel wire sponge - specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If any plastic or sugary substances are
accidentally melted on the hob, remove them
immediately with the scraper, while the surface is
still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a
special protective maintenance product: the
invisible film left by this product protects the
surface from drips during cooking. This
maintenance task should be carried out while the
appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with
clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can
become encrusted during subsequent cooking
processes.
Stainless steel frame
(only in models with outer
frame)
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
cleaning products containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface
well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the
surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.
!
Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is
similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or
degreasing products which are not suitable for use
with aluminium.
Disassembling the hob
If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:
1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on
each side.
2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in
each corner.
3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.
!
Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If
the appliance breaks down, contact a Service
Centre.
