12 -
Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it to cool down.
• Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for glass ceramic
surfaces should be used. They are obtainable from hardware stores.
Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface will quickly burn and
will make cleaning more difficult.
• It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which are liable to melt,
such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based products.
MAINTENANCE:
. Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the hob surface.
. Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper.
. Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.
If there are still some stubborn stains:
. Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning
fluid on the surface.
. Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of
30° to the hob, until the stains disappear.
. Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen
paper until the surface is clean.
. Repeat the operation if necessary.
A FEW HINTS:
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to prevent scratches and
wear. Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again.
To remove marks left by water, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then
wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid.
The control knobs can be removed for a complete cleaning. However, you must care
not to let any liquid go into the open zones, and then to push the knobs fully on
fitting back.
The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat-bottomed cooking vessels,
however, it is always better to lift them when moving them from one zone to another.
NB: Do not use a sponge which is too wet.
Never use a knife or a screwdriver.
A scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface, as long as it is
kept at an angle of 30°.
Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of children.
Never use abrasive products or scouring powders.
• The metal surround : to safely clean the metal surround wash with soap and water,
rinse, then dry with a soft cloth.
