as long as it is kept at an angle of 30
°
.
Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach
of children.

Maxi
• Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it
to cool down.
• Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces should be used. They are obtainable
from hardware stores.
• Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface
will quickly burn and will make cleaning more difficult.
• It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which
are liable to melt, such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based
products.
MAINTENANCE:
- Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the
hob surface.
- Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp
kitchen paper.
- Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is
clean.
If there are still some stubborn stains:
- Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning fluid on the
surface.
- Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of 30
°
to the hob,
until the stains disappear.
- Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is
clean.
- Repeat the operation if necessary.
A FEW HINTS:
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to
prevent scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean
before using the hob again. To remove marks left by water, use
a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then wipe with
absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid.
The control knobs can be removed for a complete cleaning.
However, you must care not to let any liquid go into the open
zones, and then to push the knobs fully on fitting back.
The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat-
bottomed cooking vessels, however, it is always better to lift them
when moving them from one zone to another.
