Cleaning and Maintenance
GENERAL ADVICE
Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched off and
•
disconnected from the electrical power supply.
Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when
•
handling or cleaning of this appliance.
•
Under no circumstances should any external covers be removed for servicing or
maintenance except by suitable qualified personnel.
•
It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning the enamelled
parts.
•
Be very careful that no water penetrates inside the appliance.
•
Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
•
Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus make
•
it unsafe.
Important: The manufacturer declines all liability for possible damage caused by the
•
use of unsuitable products to clean the appliance.
WARNING! When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid
down for this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the
underneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and may
contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.
GLASS SURFACE
•
Remove spillages and other types of incrustations by using only specific products which do
not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
•
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 or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
•
Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as possible.
•
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 permanently damage the surface of the
hob if left to burn on it.
•
Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the glass surface.
•
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface permanently.
•
Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup
mixtures etc.
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.
