Cleaning and Maintenance
NOTE: Cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out when the cooktop is cool (all residual heat indicators are
off).
The appliance should be disconnected from the power outlet or turned off at your isolation switch before commencing any
cleaning process.
Do not use plastic, plastic coated or aluminium cooking equipment on this appliance.
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
Before cleaning the cooktop, first isolate the cooktop from the power. Once done, ensure that there is no residual heat
stored in the appliance. Vitroceramic glass is very resistant to high temperature and overheating. If there is residual heat
stored in the appliance, the related residual heat icon will be on. To avoid burns, let the appliance cool down.
Remove all spilt food and fat with a clean damp, warm, slightly soapy, dishcloth. Rinse cloth and wipe cooktop again
until clean, then wipe the cooktop dry with a clean tea towel or dry soft cloth.
If aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally melted on the vitroceramic surface, they should be immediately
removed from the hot cooking area with a scraper specifically for vitroceramic glass. This will avoid any possible
damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar or food containing sugar that may be spilled on the cooktop.
In the event of other food melted on the cooktop surface, remove the dirt when the appliance has cooled down. Use
cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless steel when cleaning the surface.
Do not use abrasive sponges to clean the vitroceramic surface. These materials may damage the surface. Do not
use chemical detergents, sprays or spot removers on the vitroceramic surface. These materials may cause fire or
the vitroceramic colour to fade. Clean with a damp, warm, slightly soapy, dishcloth.
WARNING: Using cookware that is too large can cause discolouration or damage to the cooktop surface around the heat
zones, which is NOT covered under warranty.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible causes What to do
The cooktop cannot
Be turned on.
No power.
Make sure the cooktop is connected to the
power supply and that it is switched on.
Check whether there is a power outage in
your home or area. If you’ve checked
everything and the problem persists, call a
qualified technician.
The touch controls
are unresponsive.
The controls are locked.
Unlock the controls. See section ‘Operating
Instructions’ for direction.
The touch controls
are difficult to
operate. There may be a slight film of water over
the controls or you may be using the tip
of your finger when touching the
controls.
Make sure the touch control area is dry and

Rough-edged cookware.
Use cookware with flat and smooth bases.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or
cleaning products being used. Use only recommended cleaners.
Some pans make
crackling or clicking
noises.
This may be caused by the
construction of your cookware
(layers of different metals
vibrating differently). This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
