PART 6. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Â
To keep the appliance in good
condition, clean it using suitable prod-
ucts and tools once it has cooled down.
This will make the maintenance easier
and avoid the build-up of dirt. Never
use harsh cleaning products or tools
that could scratch the surface. Do not
use steam cleaners.
Â
Light dirt not stick to the surface
and can be cleaned using a damp cloth
and a mild detergent or warm soapy
water. However, for heavier stains or
grease use a special cleaner for ceramic
hotplates and follow the instructions
on the bottle. Dirt that is firmly stuck
due to being burned repeatedly can be
removed using a scraper with a blade.
Â
Minor discolourations can ap-
pear caused by pots and pans with dry
grease residue underneath or due to
grease between the glass and the pot
during cooking. These can be removed
using a nickel scraper and water or a
special cleaner for ceramic hotplates.
Plastic objects, sugar or food containing
a lot of sugar that have melted onto the
surface must be removed immediately
using a scraper.
Â
Metallic sheens are caused by
dragging metal pots and pans over the
glass. They can be removed by clean-
ing thoroughly using a special cleaner
for ceramic glass hotplates, though you
may need to repeat the cleaning pro-
cess several times.
Warning: Be careful when using the
scraper. The blade can cause injury!
If you use the scraper incorrectly, the
blade could break and a fragment could
get caught between the surrounding
trim and the glass. If this happens, do
not try to remove it using your hands,
carefully use tweezers or a thin-edged
knife. (See fig. 3)
Only use the blade on the ceramic
surface, avoiding touching the glass
with the scraper, because this could
scratch it.
Use blades in perfect condition. Imme-
diately replace the blade if it is dam-
aged in any way.
Once you have finished using the scrap -
er, withdraw the blade and lock it. (See
fig. 4)
A pot or pan may become stuck
to the glass due to a product having
melted between them. Do not try to lift
the pot while the hotplate is cold! This
could cause the glass break.
Do not step on the glass or lean on
it as it could break and cause injury. Do
not use the glass as a surface for plac-
ing objects.
