Cleaning and Maintaining your Appliance EN
Preserve your appliance
The vitroceramic glass surface is highly resistant, but not unbreakable. Here are some recommendations for
increasing its lifetime:
- Avoid banging or clattering the cookware.
- Avoid putting heating covers on the hob. A suction effect may damage the vitroceramic surface.
- Do not use cookware with bottoms that are rough or dented.
- Do not use your cooking hob as a work surface.
- Never use aluminium foil or paper or aluminium scrubber to clean it. The aluminium melts and damages
the top.
- Never use a steam cleaner to clean your hob.
- Never directly reheat a tin can. It will have a risk of exploding.
For the safety of your kitchen, do not place cleaning items or inflammable objects or cleaning products in
the kitchen furniture underneath your cooking hob.
