HOB - CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to the Safety chapters.
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
WARNING!
Deactivate the appliance and let it
cool down before you clean it.
Disconnect the appliance from the
electrical supply before you do
cleaning or maintenance work.
WARNING!
For safety reasons, do not clean
the appliance with steam cleaners
or high-pressure cleaners.
WARNING!
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
steel wool pads or acids. They
can cause damage to the appli-
ance.
Scratches or dark stains on the
surface have no effect on how the
appliance operates.
• You can remove the pan supports to
easily clean the hob.
• To clean the enamelled parts, cap and
crown, wash them with warm soapy
water and dry them carefully before you
put them back.
• Wash stainless steel parts with water,
and then dry them with a soft cloth.
• The pan supports
are not
dishwasher
proof. They must be washed
by hand
.
• When you wash the pan supports by
hand, take care when you dry them as
the enamelling process occasionally
leaves rough edges. If necessary, re-
move stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner.
• Make sure you position the pan sup-
ports correctly after cleaning.
• To make the burners work correctly,
make sure that the arms of the pan
supports are in the centre of the burner.
•
Be very careful when you replace
the pan supports to prevent the hob
top from damage.
After cleaning, dry the appliance with a
soft cloth.
