CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power
supply to the appliance.
6.1
Cleaning the ceramic hob
The hob should be regularly cleaned; preferably after every use, once the residual heat warning lights
have gone off.
Smudges from aluminium-bottom pans can be easily cleaned off with a cloth
dampened in vinegar.
Remove any burnt residues after cooking with the scraper provided; rinse with
water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Regular use of the scraper considerably
reduces the need for chemical detergents for the daily cleaning of the hob.
Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. cleaning powders, oven sprays,
spot-removers, wire sponges).
Do not use a steam jet for cleaning the appliance.
