To properly care for the glass, you should
clean it with suitable products and instru-
ments when the glass is cold. If you clean
it every time it is used, it will be easier to
clean and you will keep dirt from different
cooking sessions from getting stuck.
The degree of soiling should be taken
into account when cleaning the glass.
Please clean glass as indicated below:
* When soiling is light and does not stick, it
can be cleaned using a damp cloth and
a mild detergent.
* Heavy stains or grease stains should be
cleaned using a cleaning agent suitable
for
glass
(example:
Clen
Vitrocerámicas).
* Sticky stains that have been burned in
can be removed by using a scraper with
a razor blade.
* Plastic objects, sugar or food with a high
sugar content that are melted onto the
hob should be removed immediately
while hot by using a scraper
* Under no circumstances should you use
abrasive cleaning agents or products
that scratch, such as oven cleaning
sprays, rust stain removers or sponges
or scouring pads with a hard surface.
* Do not slide cookware over the glass;
this may cause scratching.
* Make sure that cookware is not left
without liquid. The heat accumulated in
the bottom of the cookware could cause
damage to the burner or to the hob
glass.
* The glass will withstand bangs from large
cookware that does not have sharp
edges. Please be careful with impacts
from small, sharp utensils. Do not strike
the edge of the glass with cookware as
this may cause irreparable damage to
the glass.
* Do not spill cold liquids on the glass or
the burners when they are hot.
* Do not stand or lean on the glass. It may
break and cause injury.
To clean and care for other compo-
nents, please follow these guidelines:
* Pan supports should be cleaned with a
non-abrasive scouring pad after they
have cooled off.
* Burners should be cleaned periodically,
particularly the grooves in the burner
heads. To do so, soak them in warm,
soapy water and scrub them with a
scouring pad or with a stiff brush.
* Do not clean the enamelled burner
covers when they are still hot. Damage
can be caused by abrasive products,
such as vinegar, coffee, milk, saltwater
and tomato juice, as a result of prolon-
ged contact with the enamelled surfa-
ces.
* When the burners have been dismantled
for cleaning purposes, care should be
taken to prevent liquids or other objects
from entering the nozzle unit.
* Do not use cleaning products that attack
aluminium, such as caustic soda, oil,
etc.
* Every time you assemble a burner, check
that all of its component parts fit together
correctly. A badly positioned element
may cause the hob glass to overheat
* You should periodically clean the ignition
unit very carefully (ceramic and electro-
de) in order to prevent lighting problems.
Also make sure that the openings of the
burners are not obstructed.
