Environment
The hob has been designed with protection of
the environment in mind.
Be environmentally aware.
Use the adequate

receptacles of a suitable size for the food you are
going to prepare. The heat transmission is best
when the base of the receptacle and the diameter

Maintenance and
cleaning
• Clean the surface of your hob regularly once
it has cooled down. Do not use abrasive
products or sponges. Clean with a damp cloth
and soapy water (3.1.1).
• Once a week, clean thoroughly with products
specifi cally designed for vetroceramic hobs.
We recommend VITRO-CLEN for cleaning and
maintaining your vitroceramic hob.
• Stubborn stains can be removed with the
glass scraper (3.1.2).
• If you accidentally burn some sugar, sugary
elements or plastic on the hob, remove it as
soon as possible with a scraper while it is still
hot. If this is not done, you may be left with
permanent marks.
• Use the blade of the scraper in perfect
condition; replace it if is damaged.

limitation device that switches it off if the
surface becomes excessively hot.
• In electronic models, in case of overfl ow
onto the control keys, the appliance will stop
working and will start beeping. (4.1.2)
• In electronic models, if you hold down any of
the sensors for too long, the appliance will
