Cleaning and Maintenance
18
GENERAL ADVICE
✓ Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the hob is switched off.
✓ It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning the
enamelled parts.
✓ All enamelled surfaces have to be washed with soapy water or some other non-abrasive
product with a sponge and are to be dried preferably with a soft cloth.
✓ Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.
✓ Do not use cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
WARNING
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for
this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the un-
derneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched
and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.
GLASS SURFACE
✓ Remove spillages and other types of incrustations by using only specific
products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
✓ If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
✓ All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
✓ Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
✓ Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon
as possible.
✓ If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove. This
is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could permanently
damage the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
✓ Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the glass
surface.
✓ Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
✓ Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass
since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
