Instructions for the user

8.2.2 The electric element

After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the electric element must be treated with specific cleaning products which are available on the market. This necessary operation prevents oxidisation (rust formation).

8.2.3 The cover

Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never use abrasive sponges or detergents.

Never lower the cover when burners or electric elements are on or still hot.

8.3Preventive maintenance

This appliance does not need any special maintenance. However, a few

simple operations have to be carried out periodically to prevent malfunctioning:

Burners: the burners must be cleaned periodically to ensure correct combustion; make sure that all the openings and flame ports are clean and free of obstacles, and that the burners rest firmly on their supports.

Gas connection: the gas connection must be checked periodically.

Flexible pipes: if a flexible pipe is used, it must be inspected

periodically (once a year) for leakages: if the surface of the pipe appears rigid and cracked, disconnect immediately the cooker from the gas supply and replace the pipe with a new one.

Valves: if the gas valves get stuck or hard to turn, they need to be cleaned and re-greased; this operation must be carried out by an authorised person.

CIR34XS specifications

The Smeg CIR34XS is a remarkable built-in electric cooktop that combines elegance with cutting-edge technology. This contemporary appliance reflects Smeg’s commitment to producing high-quality kitchen equipment infused with Italian design aesthetics. With its sleek stainless-steel finish and smooth glass surface, the CIR34XS not only elevates the kitchen’s look but also offers exceptional functionality.

One of the standout features of the CIR34XS is its induction cooking technology. This method utilizes electromagnetic energy to directly heat cookware, delivering rapid and precise cooking results while ensuring the surface remains cool to the touch. This makes it an energy-efficient option, as heat is generated only when pans are in place, significantly reducing wasted energy and keeping the kitchen environment comfortable.

The cooktop features four highly responsive induction zones, each equipped with a booster function that allows for quick heating. This is particularly useful for bringing water to a boil or for sautéing ingredients with remarkable speed. The zones come in various sizes, accommodating different cookware dimensions and ensuring an optimal cooking experience.

Safety is a priority with the Smeg CIR34XS. The cooktop is equipped with several safety features including residual heat indicators, which alert users when the surface is still warm. Additionally, a child lock function provides peace of mind for families, preventing accidental activation by young children. The automatic shut-off feature also ensures that the cooktop will turn off after a designated period of inactivity, reducing the risk of overheating.

User convenience is further enhanced by the touch controls, which allow for easy temperature adjustments and settings. The layout is designed for intuitive use, making it simple even for novice cooks to operate. The sleek design also means that cleaning is effortless; the smooth, flat surface can be wiped down quickly, preventing food residue from becoming baked onto the cooktop.

Overall, the Smeg CIR34XS is a blend of style, efficiency, and practicality, making it a wise investment for modern kitchens. With its advanced induction technology, user-friendly interface, and safety features, it stands out as a top choice for anyone looking to elevate their cooking experience. Whether you're preparing a family meal or experimenting with new recipes, the CIR34XS delivers performance that can meet the demands of passionate home chefs.
