Care and cleaning

Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Warning! Before any maintenance or cleaning can
be carried out, you must disconnect the hob from
the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned while it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left
to cool.
Warning! Sharp objects and abrasive cleaning
agents will damage the appliance.
For your safety, do not clean the appliance with steam
blasters or high-pressure cleaners.

Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest scientific knowledge, if
you brown food (specially the one which contains starch),
acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we recommend
that you cook at the lowest temperatures and do not brown
food too much.
Scratches or dark stains have no effect on how the
appliance operates.
Removing the dirt:
1. Use the fine scouring powder or a scouring pad to
remove the dirt.
2. Clean the appliance with a damp cloth and some de-
tergent.
3. Heat the hotplate to a low temperature and leave to
dry.
4. To maintain the hotplates, wipe the plates with a
drop of olive oil on a kitchen towel to prevent rust.
Important! For stainless steel edges of the hob use cleaner
for stainless steel.
