Cleaning and maintenance

the hotplate outlines marked on the glass.

•Dry the bases of pots before placing them on the vitroceramic hob top.

•Never leave plastic objects or utensils, or aluminium foil on the vitroceramic hob.

•Take care not to scrape the surface of the hob with pots with sharp edges or corners.

•Do not switch on the hob if there is no pot on the zone to be used.

•Do not heat plastic recipients on the hob.

•Cooking pots must be made of materials that will not melt onto the glass of the hob.

•The glass will withstand a certain level of impact from large recipients with no sharp edges. Care should be taken to avoid impacts with small, pointed utensils.

When the halogen heating elements are in use it is recommended to avoid making eye contact with them to prevent any injury being caused.

Take care to prevent sugar or products that contain sugar from spilling onto the glass since when hot they could react with the glass and damage its surface.

To keep the vitroceramic hob in prime condi- tion only use suitable products and utensils for cleaning. Vitroceramic hobs should be clea- ned after every use, when they are warm or cold. This makes cleaning easier, avoiding accumulated stains from several uses.

Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning pro- ducts that could scratch the surface (see the table on the next page of common cleaning products to be used) nor cleaning equipment using steam as a cleaning agent.

CARE OF THE GLASS SURFACE

When cleaning the hob the degree of staining must be taken into account, using appropriate products and utensils in each case.

Light stains

Light stains that have not hardened or stuck to the surface can be removed with a damp cloth and a gentle detergent or warm soapy water.

Hardened stains

Stubborn stains and grease can be removed using special cleaning products for vitrocera- mic hobs following the manufacturer’s instruc- tions.

Baked-on stains can be removed using a scraper with a sharp edge.

Coloured iridescent stains: These are cau- sed by recipients that have dry grease stains on the base or by the presence of grease bet- ween the glass and the pot during cooking. They can be removed using nickel cleaning pads and water or a special cleaning product for vitroceramic surfaces.

Plastic utensils and sugar or sugar-contai-

ning foods that have melted onto the surface can be removed immediately using a scraper while still hot.
