In the event of operating
problems or incidents not
mentioned in this manual,
disconnect the appliance and
contact the TEKA technical service.
Recommendation for the
good use of VT hot plates
* Use pots or pans with thick,
completely flat bottoms.
* Pans with a smaller diameter than
the shown heating area are not
recommended.
* Do not slide pots and pans over the
glass as they may scratch it.
* Although the glass can withstand
knocks from large pots and pans
without sharp edges, try not to
knock it.
* To prevent damage to the ceramic
glass induction surface, try not
to slide the pots and pans over
the glass, and keep the bottoms
of the vessels clean and in good
condition.
Try not to spill sugar or
products containing sugar on the
glass as while the surface is hot
these could damage it.
Cleaning and maintenance
To keep the appliance in good
condition, clean it using suitable
products and implements once it has
cooled down. This will make the job
easier and avoid the build-up of dirt
Never use harsh cleaning products or
tools that could scratch the surface, or
steam-operated equipment.
Light dirt not stuck to the surface can
be cleaned using a damp cloth and a
gentle detergent or warm soapy water.
However, for deeper stains or grease
use a special cleaner for ceramic hot
plates 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.
Slight tinges of colour are 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
scourer with water or a special cleaner
for ceramic hot plates. Plastic objects,
sugar or food containing a lot of sugar
that have melted onto the surface
must be removed immediately using
a scraper.
Metallic sheens are caused by
dragging metal pots and pans over
the glass. They can be removed by
cleaning thoroughly using a special
cleaner for ceramic glass hot plates,
although you may need to repeat the
cleaning process several times.
Warning:
Handle the glass scraper carefully.
The blade could 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 knife
with a fine edge. (See fig. 3)
fig. 3
Only use the blade on the
ceramic surface, avoiding the
scraper casing coming into contact
with the glass because this could
scratch it.
Use blades in perfect
condition. Immediately replace the
blade if it is damaged in any way.
After you have finished with
the scraper, withdraw the blade and
lock it. (See fig. 4)

Blade protected Blade unprotected
Using the scraper
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 hot
plate is cold! This could break the
glass.
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 placing objects.
