Cleaning, maintenance and suggestions
Before doing any work, always disconnect the
appliance from the electrical mains and read the
following instructions carefully.
The glass must be cleaned regularly after each use,
when it is cold or still lukewarm.
1) Use flat, dry pans only. Steel pans or those with
uneven bottoms must not be used because they
might scratch the glass.
Marks or silvery streaks are caused by accidentally
dragging aluminium pans over the hob, or chipped
enamelled pans.
Check the condition and flatness of pan bottoms
periodically.
These marks or streaks can be removed by
cleaning the hob with vinegar.
2) Never spill sugar on the hob while cooking; if this
happens by accident, switch off the hob
immediately and clean the part affected with the
scraper or with hot water before the zone cools, and
dry with a cloth.
If the glass is not cleaned immediately, the sugar
may form deposits which are impossible to remove.
3) Any burnt residues left on the cooking zone after
cooking must be removed immediately with the
scraper provided. Rinse with water and dry
thoroughly.
The scraper means that no other mechanical
cleaning aids are required and minimizes the need
for chemical cleaning products.
4) Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as
spray cleaners for grills and ovens, stain or rust
removers, powders or metal scouring pads.
