Care and maintenance

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

•It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen towel.

•If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.

•To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper. Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can achieve excellent results by using a rust-proof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.

•If any plastic or sugary substances are accidentally melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.

•Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance task should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.

•Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.

Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer frame)

Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which has been left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning products containing phosphorus.

After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.

Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or degreasing products which are not suitable for use with aluminium.

Disassembling the hob

If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:

1.Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on each side.

2.Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in each corner.

3.Take the hob out of its installation cavity.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If the appliance breaks down, contact a Service Centre.
