GB Cleaning and care
To properly care for the glass, you should clean it with suitable products and instru- ments when the glass is cold. If you clean it every time it is used, it will be easier to clean and you will keep dirt from different cooking sessions from getting stuck.
The degree of soiling should be taken into account when cleaning the glass. Please clean glass as indicated below:
*When soiling is light and does not stick, it can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
*Heavy stains or grease stains should be cleaned using a cleaning agent suitable
for glass (example: Clen Vitrocerámicas).
*Sticky stains that have been burned in can be removed by using a scraper with a razor blade.
*Plastic objects, sugar or food with a high sugar content that are melted onto the hob should be removed immediately while hot by using a scraper
*Under no circumstances should you use abrasive cleaning agents or products that scratch, such as oven cleaning sprays, rust stain removers or sponges or scouring pads with a hard surface.
*Do not slide cookware over the glass; this may cause scratching.
*Make sure that cookware is not left without liquid. The heat accumulated in the bottom of the cookware could cause damage to the burner or to the hob glass.
*The glass will withstand bangs from large cookware that does not have sharp edges. Please be careful with impacts from small, sharp utensils. Do not strike the edge of the glass with cookware as this may cause irreparable damage to the glass.
*Do not spill cold liquids on the glass or the burners when they are hot.
*Do not stand or lean on the glass. It may break and cause injury.
To clean and care for other compo- nents, please follow these guidelines:
*Pan supports should be cleaned with a
*Burners should be cleaned periodically, particularly the grooves in the burner heads. To do so, soak them in warm, soapy water and scrub them with a scouring pad or with a stiff brush.
*Do not clean the enamelled burner covers when they are still hot. Damage can be caused by abrasive products, such as vinegar, coffee, milk, saltwater and tomato juice, as a result of prolon- ged contact with the enamelled surfa- ces.
*When the burners have been dismantled for cleaning purposes, care should be taken to prevent liquids or other objects from entering the nozzle unit.
*Do not use cleaning products that attack aluminium, such as caustic soda, oil, etc.
*Every time you assemble a burner, check that all of its component parts fit together correctly. A badly positioned element may cause the hob glass to overheat
*You should periodically clean the ignition unit very carefully (ceramic and electro- de) in order to prevent lighting problems. Also make sure that the openings of the burners are not obstructed.
