• Check whether the cleaning materials
are appropriate and recommended by

appliance.
• Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners
which do not contain particles. Do not
use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive
cleaning powders, rough wire wool or
hard tools as they may damage the
cooker surfaces.
Do not use cleaners that contain
particles, as they may scratch the

of your appliance.
• Should any liquids overflow, clean them
immediately to avoid parts becoming
damaged.

cleaning any part of the appliance.

the vitroceramic glass. Then, rinse and
dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.

or sugary foods have fallen on the hot
glass-ceramic cooktop, please scrape
it off the hot surface as quickly and as

melt, they can damage the glass-
ceramic cooktop. When you cook very
sugary items like jam, apply a layer of a
suitable protective agent beforehand if it
is possible.
