GENERAL ADVICE
■
Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is
switched off.
■
It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning
the enamelled parts.
■
Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the
surfaces.
■
Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
■
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance
thus make it unsafe.
WARNING
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for this
type of product category. However special care should be taken around the rear or
the underneath of the appliance as these areas are not designed or intended to be
touched and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

All residues of detergent must be eliminated with a damp cloth.
■
Keep all objects that could be melted by the heat away from the top: plastic
objects, aluminium foil, sugar or sugary products.
■
If an object melts on the top, remove immediately (while the top is still hot)
using a special scraper to avoid permanent damage to the pyroceram surface.
■
Avoid using knives and pointed objects as they could damage the surface of the
top.

Also avoid using abrasive sponges or wire wool which can permanently scratch
