PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE
Avoid hard shocks from cookware:
The vitroceramic glass worktop is very sturdy;
however, it is not unbreakable.
Do not place any hot lids flat on your cooking
hob. A suction effect may damage the vitro-
ceramic surface.
Avoid dragging cookware across the surface,
which may in the long-term result in the
degradation of the decorative finish of the
vitroceramic top.
Avoid placing cookware on the frame or cover
(depending on the model).
Avoid using cookware with rough or bumpy
bottoms: they can capture and transfer parti-
cles that may produce stains or scratches on
your hob.
These defects that do not result in applian-
ce malfunction or do not make it unsuitable
for use are not covered by the warranty.

3 / DAILY CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCE
MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE
Do not store cleaning products or flammable
products in the cabinet underneath your
cooking hob.
Do not heat unopened canned goods; they
may burst.
Of course, this precaution applies to all types
of cooking.
Never use a sheet of aluminium for cooking.
Never place items wrapped in aluminium foil
or packaged in aluminium dishes on your
cooking hob.
The aluminium will melt and permanently
damage your cooking appliance.
Objects not intended for cooking should
never be placed on the hob (risk of powering
on, scratches, etc.).
Steam cleaning should never be used. The
steam jet could damage your hob.
