CLEANING
NOTE: Cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out when the cooktop
is cool (all residual heat indicators are off).
The appliance should be disconnected from the power outlet or turned off at your
isolation switch before commencing any cleaning process.
Do not use plastic, plastic coated or aluminium cooking equipment on this appliance.
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
All cookware used on this appliance should be rated for induction cooking by the manufacturer. Cookware
with rough bases should not be used as they can scratch the glass ceramic surface. The base of the good
cookware should be as thick and flat as possible. Before use, make sure that cookware bases are clean and
dry.
Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If possible, always place the lids on
the cookware. The base of any cookware used must not be smaller or larger than the cooking zones; they
should be the proper size as indicated below, so as not to waste energy. If incorrectly placed, the U symbol
will be displayed.
Before cleaning the cooktop, first isolate the cooktop from the power. Once done, ensure that there is no
residual heat stored in the appliance. Vitroceramic glass is very resistant to high temperature and overheating.
If there is residual heat stored in the appliance, the related residual heat indicator lamp will be on. In order to
avoid burns, let the appliance cool down.
Remove all spilt food and fat with a clean damp, warm, slightly soapy, dishcloth. Rinse cloth and wipe cooktop
again until clean, then wipe the cooktop dry with a clean tea towel or dry soft cloth.
If aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally melted on the vitroceramic surface, they should be
immediately removed from the hot cooking area with a scraper specifically for vitroceramic glass. This will
avoid any possible damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar or food containing sugar that may be
spilled on the cooktop. Enamelled steel, aluminium & copper will leave a residue on the surface that should be
removed immediately or permanent damage may occur.
In the event of other food melted on the cooktop surface, remove the dirt when the appliance has cooled
down. Use cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless steel when cleaning the surface.
Do not use abrasive sponges to clean the vitroceramic surface. These materials may damage the surface.
Do not use chemical detergents, sprays or spot removers on the vitroceramic surface. These materials may
cause fire or the vitroceramic colour to fade. Clean with a damp, warm, slightly soapy, dishcloth.
WARNING: Using cookware that is too large can cause discolouration or damage to the cooktop surface
around the heat zones, which is NOT covered under warranty.
