4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets for cleaning the
appliance.
• Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on
the hob during cooking.
• Do not place materials or substances
that could melt (plastic or aluminium foil).
• Keep always clean and do not place
any object on the sensor keys.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the
surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder
products, stain removers and metallic
sponges). Use wooden or plastic
utensils.
4.2 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the oven surfaces in good
condition, they should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let them cool first.
Cleaning and maintenance
4.3 Ordinary weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week
using an ordinary glass cleaning product.
Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Silicon in these products creates
a protective, water-repellent membrane
which also resists dirt. All marks stay on the
membrane and can therefore be easily
removed. After cleaning, dry the surface
with a clean cloth. Make sure that there is
no detergent left on the cooking surface, as
it will undergo an aggressive reaction when
heated up and could modify the structure of
the cooking surface.
4.4 Food stains or residues
Smudges from aluminium-based pans can
be easily cleaned off with a cloth
dampened in vinegar.
After cooking, remove any burnt residues
with the provided scraper; rinse with water
and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Regular use of the scraper considerably
reduces the need for chemical detergents
for the daily cleaning of the hob.
Dirt which may have fallen on the hob
while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can
scratch the hob when moving saucepans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the
cooking surface immediately.
