Cleaning and Maintenance
Before you begin cleaning make sure that the hob is switched off.
•Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.
•Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
•If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
•All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
•Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as pos- sible.
•If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove.
This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could perma- nently pit the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
•If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob (available under part no. 103138).
•Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.
•Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the ceramic surface.
•Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface perma- nently.
•Do not use cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
SIDE STAINLESS STEEL TRIMS
•Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth.
•For persistent dirt, use specific
CONTROL KNOBS
•The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken not to damage the seal.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appli- ance thus make it unsafe.
