Safety When Cleaning
• Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.
• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or
high pressure cleaner.
• Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning
instructions in this manual.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or storage space.
• Please be careful the edges when moving pots and pans around.
• Do not have the cooking zones on with empty pans, or with no
pots or pans on them.
• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature
changes, but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly
hard or sharp objects fall on to it.
• Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with
rough edges or burrs. Moving these can cause scratches on
glass.
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking
zone and melts, remove immediately, while still hot. If left to cool
down, it may damage the surface when removed.
Important:
There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass
scraper is used on a hot cooking zone!
• Keep objects or materials liable to melt away from the ceramic
glass surface, for example, plastic utensils, aluminium foil, or
cooking wraps. If any other materials or foodstuffs have melted on
the ceramic glass surface, these should also be cleaned away
immediately.
