4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on
the cooktop 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 buttons.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic surface
finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts. Use wooden or plastic
utensils.
4.2 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the 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 cooktop once a
week using an ordinary glass cleaning
product. Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions. The 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
no detergent residue remains 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
Light coloured smudges from pans with
aluminium bases can be easily cleaned
using a cloth dampened in vinegar.
Remove any burnt-on residues after
cooking, then rinse with water and dry
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Dirt which may have fallen on the cooktop
while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can
scratch the cooktop when moving pans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the
cooking surface immediately.
