less steel surfaces is by using a soft cloth and the clean agent (only supplied to stainless steel appliances). Any spillage on the stain- less steel finish must be wiped off immedi- ately. You can also try window cleaning agents. If the surface is very dirty, you can try spirit such as technical spirit.

Warning! Note that the anti-tip guard does not function when you have pulled out the cooker in order to clean behind it.

Warning! For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with steam jet or high-pressure cleaning equipment.

Handle

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water be used for cleaning the han- dles. Any other cleaning materials may dull the surface finish.

Cleaning the ceramic hob

Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent foodstuff being burnt on. Take care to avoid the hob trims when clean- ing the ceramic glass as they may be dam- aged by the cleaning agents.

Daily cleaning

Use hob-cleaning product specifically de- signed for ceramic hobs daily. If foodstuff is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off.

1.Apply a small amount of hob cleaner on the hob and wipe with a soft cloth, a clean paper towel or anything similar. Make sure it will not damage the hob.

2.Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.

To remove more stubborn marks

1.Cream cleaner may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove dis- colouration.

2.Use a plastic pad designed for non-stick saucepans with cream cleaner for remov- al of more stubborn stains.

To remove burnt on foodstuff

We strongly recommend the use of a Ce- ramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the

hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage.

1.Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.

2.Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30o to remove as much food- stuff as possible.

Use hob cleaner or cream cleaner to fin- ish off as directed above.

Warning! Keep the blade scraper out of the reach or children. Use the blade scraper with care, the blade is extremely sharp.

To reduce marking of the hob

•Make sure the bottom of the sauce- pan and the cooking areas is clean and dry before cooking begins .

•Ensure saucepans are large enough to accommodate food to avoid boil- over

•If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.

•Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob sur- face, which will be burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.

•Avoid the use of:

•Household detergents and bleaches.

–Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not described as suitable for non-stick saucepans.

–Abrasive cleaning pads, scourers and steel wool pads.

–Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aero- sols and oven pads.

–Rust stain, bath and sink stain re- movers .

•Any of the above products may cause damage of the hob.

•It is dangerous to mix different clean- ing products. The chemicals in them may react with each other with haz- ardous results.

•Sugar solutions must be removed from the hob before the syrup has set otherwise damage to the hob surface will occur.

•Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.
