CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
After each use of the glass-ceramic hob, wait for it to cool down and then clean it;
otherwise, even the smallest food residue will be burnt onto the hot surface next
time you will use the appliance.
For regular cleaning and maintenance of the glass-ceramic surface, use special
conditioning agents that form a protective layer on the surface, shielding it from
dirt. Before each use, wipe any dust or other particles from the hob surface and
pan bottom as they could scratch the surface (Figure 1).
Careful: steel wool, abrasive sponges, and abrasive detergents can scratch the
hob surface. Glass ceramic surface can also be damaged by aggressive sprays
and inappropriate or insufficiently shaken (mixed) liquid cleaning agents (Figure 1
and Figure 2).
Signs and indications on the hob may be worn if aggressive cleaning aids are
used on cooking zone edges, or if pans with damaged bottom are used.
Light stains can be removed by a damp soft cloth; then, wipe the surface dry
(Figure 3).
Water stains can be removed using a mild solution of vinegar; however, do not
use this solution to clean the frame (only with some models, as it may become
dull). Do not use aggressive sprays or decalcification agents (Figure 3).
Heavier stains can be removed using special agents and utensils for cleaning the
glass-ceramic hobs. When using these products, follow the instructions provided
by their manufacturers.
Make sure any residues of cleaning agents are thoroughly removed, as they could
damage the glass-ceramic hob when the cooking zones heat up (Figure 3).
Stubborn and burnt residues can be removed using a scraper.
Make sure the plastic part of the scraper does not come into contact with a hot
cooking zone. Be careful not to cut yourself with the scraper!
Sugar and sugar-laden food may permanently damage the glass-ceramic surface
(Figure 5); therefore, they should be removed from the glass-ceramic surface as
soon as possible, even when the cooking zone is still hot (Figure 4).
Any change in the color of the glass-ceramic surface does not affect its operation
or the stability of the surface. Such discolorations are mostly a result of burnt food
residues or use of cookware made of materials such as aluminum or copper;
these stains are difficult to remove.
Warning: All damage described above predominantly relates to the aesthetics,
i.e. appearance of the appliance and do not affect its functionality directly. Such
errors cannot be the subject of a warranty claim.

Gas burner
•To clean the grid, cooking hob surfaces, and parts of the burner, use hot water
with some dishwashing detergent.
•Clean the thermo-element and the spark plug with a soft brush. These parts must
be kept impeccably clean, as only then will they operate correctly.
•Clean the crown and the burner cover. Be particularly careful to keep all exit slots
on the crown clean and unobstructed.
•After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly and replace or reassemble them correctly.
Parts that are placed askew will make lighting the burners more difficult.
Warning: Burner covers are coated in black enamel. Due to high temperatures,
discoloration is unavoidable; however, this will not affect the operation of the
burners.
