Sticky stains
that have been burned in can
be removed by using a scraper with a
razor blade.
Rainbow colouring:
caused by cookware
that has dry bits of grease on its base or
when grease gets between the glass and
the cookware while cooking. It can be
removed from the surface of the glass
using a nickel scouring pad with water or
with a special vitroceramic cleaner.
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.
When the colour of the glass changes
This does not affect the effectiveness or
stability of the hob and is generally caused
by inadequate cleaning or by poor-quality
cookware.
Metallic sheens
are caused by metal cook-
ware sliding over the glass. They can be
removed by thorough cleaning with a spe-
cial, vitroceramic cleaning agent, although
it may be that the cleaning needs to be
repeated more than once.
Worn trim
is the result of using abrasive
cleaning products or cookware with une-
ven bases which wear down the seri-
graphy.
Attention:
Take great care when using the
glass scraper. The blade can cause
injury!
If the scraper is used inappropria-
tely, the blade can break and a fragment
can become incrusted between the
lateral trim and the glass. If this hap-
pens, do not try and remove the frag-
ments with your hands; carefully use
tweezers or a knife with a sharp tip (See
fig. 6).
Only use the blade on the vitroce-
ramic surface. Make sure that the body
of the scraper does not come into con-
tact with the glass, since this could
scratch the vitroceramic glass.
Only use blades that are in perfect
conditions. Replace the blade immedia-
tely when it shows any signs of wear.
After using the scraper, pull in and
protect the blade. (See fig. 7)
Cookware may become stuck to
the glass if something has melted bet-
ween the base of the cookware and the
glass. Do not attempt to unstick the
cookware when it is cold - you could
break the glass ceramic.
Do not stand or lean on the glass.
It could break and cause injury. Do not
keep any objects on the glass.
