Cleaning and care the burners
*The grids should be cleaned with a non- abrasive scourer when they have cooled down.
*The burners - the grooves in particular - should be cleaned at regular intervals; they should be put into warm, soapy water and cleaned with a scourer or a stiff brush.
*Do not clean the enamel diffusing co- vers while they are still hot. Abrasive products can cause damage: vinegar, coffee, milk, salty water and tomato juice that have lengthy contact with the ena- mel surfaces.
*When cleaning the appliance with the burners removed, care should be taken not to allow liquid or other objects to get into the injector openings.
*When cleaning, do not use products that can harm aluminium, such as soda, oil, etc.
Note: Whenever you replace a burner, you should check that all of the parts are properly in place. A part that is not in the right place can cause poor com- bustion and/or overheating.

Advice on using the hotplates effectively
In order to achieve the best results from cooking, the following guidelines should be followed:
*Use pans with a flat base, as the greater the surface contact between the pan and the glass, the greater will be the heat transmission. Figure 14 shows how pans that are dented or concave have a smaller contact surface.
fig. 14
Right Wrong Wrong
*We recommend the use of heavy pans so that the base is more difficult to dent.
*The use of pans with a diameter which is smaller than that indicated in the heating area is not recommended.
*Make sure that the pans are well cen- tred on the outlines shown on the hea- ting area.
*Dry the pans’ bases before putting them on the glass ceramic hob.
*Do not leave any plastic object or uten- sil, or any aluminium foil, lying on the glass hob.
*Do not drag pans with corners or edges that could damage the glass.
*Do not use the glass ceramic hob wi- thout a pan on the area that is switched on.
*Do not cook with plastic pans.
