Cleaning and Maintenance
GENERAL ADVICE
■Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched off.
■It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning the enamelled parts.
■Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
■Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
■Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus make it unsafe.
VITROCERAMIC HOB
■Remove any encrustation using a special scraper which can be bought (Fig. 20).
■Remove dust using a damp cloth.
■Detergents can be used as long as they are not abrasive or corrosive.
■All residues of detergent must be eliminated with a damp cloth.
■Keep all objects that could be melted by the heat away from the top: plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or sugary products.
■If an object melts on the top, remove immediately (while the top is still hot) using the scraper to avoid permanent damage to the pyroceram surface.
■Avoid using knives and pointed objects as they could damage the surface of the top.
■Also avoid using abrasive sponges or wire wool which can permanently scratch the pyroceram surface.
