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.
NB:
Do not use a sponge which is too wet.
Never use a knife or a screwdriver.
A scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface, as
long as it is kept at an angle of 30
°
.
Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of
children.
Never use abrasive products or scouring powders.
• The metal surround (on some models):
to safely clean the
metal surround wash with soap and water, rinse, then dry with
a soft cloth.

The programmed time can be reset to using the button
or pressing the and buttons at the same time, the cooking
zone is then no longer linked to the timer but stays operational.
So you will have to stop the zone independently.
The timer can be used alone as a reminder, it will ring at the end
of the programmed time.
• FAST HEATER OPERATION
Every cooking zone on the hob is equipped with a fast heater for
raising the cooking zone’s temperature faster:
Starting the fast heater
- Start the required zone, press the button to obtain position
release the button briefly and press it again; the display
alternates showing “fast heater” and heat level.
- If necessary reduce to the required heat position.
E.g. 1800 W zone at position 6 = 32% of 1800 W power released
When the “Fast heater” is on, the zone supplies 1800 W power
for 2.5 minutes, and adjusts to 576 W after this time.
* For increased safety, the cooking zones cut off automatically if
they are left on too long. The cut off depends on the heat level
used.

• 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.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The locking function holds the current settings, or prevents anyone
from starting the hob. It is also used for cleaning the control strip
as the controls can be locked without the hob being on.
- Start the required cooking zones.
- Select a heat level for each of them.
- Press the button to set the data; in this way no other
button works, except the On/Off button.
The locking indicator lamp comes on.
To release the locking function, just press the button;
the indicator lamp goes off, all the controls work again.
If when the controls are locked, the timer is on, the time will be
counted automatically and the zone switched off at the end of the
programmed time.
If the locking control is on when the hob is finally shut down, the
locking control stays operational and prevents any action when
the hob is restarted, press the button to release the
locking function.
