General Instructions
• Check whether the cleaning materials
are appropriate and recommended by
the manufacturer before use on your
appliance.
• Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners
which do not contain particles. Do not
use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive
cleaning powders, rough wire wool or
hard tools as they may damage the
cooker surfaces.
Do not use cleaners that contain
particles, as they may scratch the
glass, enamelled and/or painted parts
of your appliance.
• Should any liquids overflow, clean them
immediately to avoid parts becoming
damaged.
Do not use steam cleaners for
cleaning any part of the appliance.
Cleaning the Inside of the Oven
• The inside of enamelled ovens are best
cleaned while the oven is warm.
• Wipe the oven with a soft cloth soaked
in soapy water after each use. Then,
wipe the oven over again with a wet
cloth and dry it.
• You may need to use a liquid cleaning
material occasionally to completely
clean the oven.
Cleaning the Ceramic Glass
Ceramic glass can hold heavy utensils but
may be broken if it is hit with a sharp object.

surface is cracked, to avoid the
possibility of an electric shock, switch

• Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean
the vitroceramic glass. Then, rinse and
dry the glass thoroughly with a dry cloth.

are used in the cookware’s base or
coatings, they can damage the glass-

or sugary foods have fallen on the hot
glass-ceramic cooktop, please scrape
it off the hot surface as quickly and as
safely as possible. If these substances
melt, they can damage the glass-
ceramic cooktop. When you cook very
sugary items like jam, apply a layer of a
suitable protective agent beforehand if it
is possible.
• Dust on the surface must be cleaned
with a wet cloth.

erode the surface.
