CLEANING
Before you begin cleaning make
sure that the appliance is
switched off.
Remove spillages and other types of
incrustations.
Dust or food particles can be removed
with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make sure
that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can
damage the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of the cleaner have to be
removed with a damp cloth.
It is highly recommended to keep off the
hob any article which can melt: plastic,
aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup
mixtures etc.
If any of these products has melted on
the ceramic surface, you should remove
it immediately (when the surface is still
hot) by using a scraper to avoid any
permanent damage to the surface of the
hob.
Avoid using any knife or sharp utensil
since these can damage the ceramic.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
in an irreparable way.

Safety hints:
– Before you switch the hob on, make sure
you know which knob controls the
required cooking plate. We advise you
to set the pan over the cooking plate
before switching it on. Remove the pan
after you have switched the cooking
plate off.
– Do not use pots and pans with rough
bases (pay attention to cookware made
of cast-iron).
Rough bases can damage the glass
surface of the hob (scratches).
Make sure that the pan bottom is dry
and clean.
– Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the hob.
– Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
hob.
– The glass-ceramic surface and pans
must be clean. Carefully eliminate any
food remains (especially containing
sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a
cleansing agent.
– Pan handles should never stand out
beyond the kitchen worktop, as there is
a great danger of knocking the pan
over.
This will also ensure that children
cannot reach them.
– Do not use the hob if the glass surface
is broken or cracked in any way. Please
disconnect the hob from the mains and
contact the after-sales service.
– Do not lean over the cooking plate when
in use.
– Do not lay cooking foil or plastic
materials on the ceramic surface when
it is hot.
– Remember that the surface remains hot
for a long time (about 30 min.) after the
cooking plate has been switched off.
– Follow the cleaning instructions
carefully.
– Do not use the glass surface for
storage.
– Do not stare at the light of the
halogen hotplate.
