Cleaning and Maintenance
Before you begin cleaning make sure that the hob is switched off.
• Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.
• Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
• 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, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as pos-
sible.
• 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 perma-
nently pit the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
• If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove it
immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid any permanent
damage to the surface of the hob (available under part no. 103138).
•
Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar
syrup mixtures etc.
• Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the ceramic surface.
• Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface
perma-
nently
.

Do not use a steam cleaner because
the moisture can get into the appli-
ance thus make it unsafe.

• Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth.
• For persistent dirt, use specific non-abrasive products available commercially or a lit-
tle hot vinegar.
Do not use cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
•
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.
