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.
•
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.
•
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.

Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when
handling or cleaning of this appliance.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
•
Remove any encrustation using a scraper specific for glass ceramic surfaces.
•
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 damage the glass surface of the hob.
•
All traces of the cleaner must 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 pit
the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
•
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 has melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove
it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a proper scraper to avoid any
permanent damage to the surface of the hob.
•
Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the ceramic surface.
•
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface permanently.
