GENERAL ADVICE
■ Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is
switched off.
■ It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning
the enamelled parts.
■ Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the
surfaces.
■ Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
■ Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance
thus make it unsafe.
VITROCERAMIC HOB
■ Remove any encrustation using a special scraper which can be bought (Fig. 20).
■ Remove dust using a damp cloth.
■ Detergents can be used as long as they are not abrasive or corrosive.
■ All residues of detergent must be eliminated with a damp cloth.
■ Keep all objects that could be melted by the heat away from the top: plastic
objects, aluminium foil, sugar or sugary products.
■ If an object melts on the top, remove immediately (while the top is still hot)
using the scraper to avoid permanent damage to the pyroceram surface.
■ Avoid using knives and pointed objects as they could damage the surface of the
top.
■ Also avoid using abrasive sponges or wire wool which can permanently scratch
the pyroceram surface.
