4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
4.2 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
4.3 Ordinary weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week
using an ordinary glass cleaning product.
Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions. The silicon in these products
creates a protective, water-repellent
membrane which also resists dirt. All marks
stay on the membrane and can therefore be
easily removed. After cleaning, dry the
surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that
no detergent residue remains on the
cooking surface as it will undergo an
aggressive reaction when heated up and
could modify the structure of the cooking
surface.
4.4 Food stains or residues
Smudges from aluminium-based pans can
be easily cleaned off with a cloth
dampened in vinegar.
After cooking remove any burnt residues;
rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a
clean cloth.
Dirt
which may have fallen on the hob
while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can
scratch the hob when moving pans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the
cooking surface immediately.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets for cleaning the
appliance.
• Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on
the hob during cooking.
• Do not place materials or substances
that could melt (plastic or aluminium foil).
• Keep always clean and do not place
any object on the sensor keys.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the
surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder
products, stain removers and metallic
sponges). Use wooden or plastic
utensils.
