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 suffi cient 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 - specifi cally
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
fi lm 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 fi xing the alignment springs on
each side.
2. Loosen the screws holding the fi xing 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.
Technical description of the models
The induction system is the quickest existing way
of cooking. Unlike traditional hotplates where the
cooking zone heats up, with the induction system
heat is generated directly inside pans which have
ferromagnetic bases.
Key:
I = single induction cooking zone
B = booster: the power level of the cooking zone may
be boosted to 3000 W
* = the maximum power level is limited while the
booster is activated for the relevant rear cooking
zone (see
Start-up and use
).
