3) WORKTOP

If yo u wish to main tain the shine o f the ceramic
surface, treat the glass with a silicon- based film
product before use to protect the surface against
water and dirt. This protective film is not durable,
so it is advis able to repeat the application of the
product frequently.
It is very important to clean the hob every time you
use it, while the glass is still warm.
Do not clean using abrasive metal scourers, powder
abrasives or corrosive sprays.
Depending on the degree of dirt, we recommend:
- for light stains, a damp sponge is sufficient.
- Tough, encrusted dirt is easily eliminated using a
scraper (fig. 3), not supplied with the ho b, but
easy to f ind in local stores . Use the scra per
carefully to avoid damaging the hob.
- Tr aces o f liq uid sp ille d fro m pans c an be
eliminated with vinegar or lemon juice.
- Never allow sugar or sugary foods to fall on the
hob while cooking. Should this occur, switch off
the hob and clean it immediately with hot water,
using a scraper on hot spills.
- As time goes by metallic reflections, colouring or
scratches may appear due to poor cleaning and
the inco rrect movement of pans. Scratches are
hard to eli minate but do not affect the co rrect
operation of your hob.
- Do not use jets of steam to clean the appliance.
