HINTS FOR SAFE USE OF THE HOBS
– Before switching on, check which
knob controls the required hob. You
are advised to place the saucepan on
the hob before switching on and to
take it off after switching off.
– Use saucepans with an even flat bot-
tom (be careful of cast iron
saucepans). Uneven bottoms can
scratch the pyroceram surface. Check
that the bottom is clean and dry.
– Check that the saucepan handle does
not protrude from the top to avoid
knocking it over. This precaution also
makes it more difficult for children to
reach the saucepan.
– Do not use the top if the surface is
broken or damaged.
– Do not bend over the hobs when they
are on.
– Do not leave aluminium foil, grease-
proof paper etc. or plastic on the hob
when it is hot.
– Remember that the hobs stay hot for
quite a long time (approx. 30 min.)
after they have been switched off.
– Scrupulously follow the cleaning
instructions.
– Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on
the glass ceramic cooktop.
– If you note a crack in the cooktop,
switch the appliance off immediate-
ly and call the After-Sales Service.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop, but in special
pans or containers.

CLEANING
Before you begin cleaning make sure
that the appliance is switched off.
Remove spillages and other types of
incrustations.
Dust or food particles can be removed
with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make sure
that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can dam-
age the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of the cleaner must be
removed with a damp cloth.
Do not put articles on the hob which can
melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.
If any of these products items have melt-
ed on the ceramic surface, you should
remove it immediately (when the surface
is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid
any permanent damage to the surface of
the hob.
Avoid using a knife or other sharp uten-
sils since these can damage the ceramic.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob
using a special scraper tool take extra
care to avoid damaging the seal at the
edges of the glass ceramic surface.
