Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
!
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.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• 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
(this is not supplied with the appliance). Remove
spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the
appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty

• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special
protective maintenance product: the invisible film left
by this product protects the surface from drips during
cooking. This maintenance should be carried out
while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.

become encrusted during subsequent cooking
processes.

Cleaning stainless steel
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has
been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive
detergents that contain phosphorus. We recommend
that the steel surfaces are rinsed well then dried
thoroughly.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Automatic programmes are based on standard food
product.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.

Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the
appliance.
deposits. You can obtain excellent results by using a
rustproof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally
been melted on the hob, remove them immediately
with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.
Replacing the oven light bulb
1. After disconnecting the oven from the
electricity mains, remove the glass lid
covering the lamp socket (
see figure
).
2. Remove the light bulb and replace
it with a similar one: voltage 230 V,
wattage 25 W, cap E 14.
3. Replace the lid and reconnect the
oven to the electricity supply.
! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient
lighting.
