Maintenance and care
WARNING: In the unlikely event of the
Vitroceramic sustaining accidental
damage or cracks, switch off the
appliance at the mains to avoid electric
shock and have the panel replaced before
further use.
Caring for the Vitroceramic cooktop
Vitroceramic is a tough, durable material,
which provides a beautiful, functional and
long lasting cooking surface. To keep it
looking good, it needs to be treated with
care and cleaned regularly.
Wipe spillage off as soon as possible with
a damp cloth, preferably while the cooktop
is still warm.
Clean the cooktop with a nylon pad and a
suitable smooth top cleaning solution,
which is available from all Beko Service
Centres. Remove calcium stains (yellow
stains) by applying a small amount of lime
remover such as vinegar or lemon juice.
Other suitable commercially available
products can also be used.
If necessary stubborn spills may be
removed using the blade scraper
provided.
Do not use metal scourers or coarse
abrasive powders as these could scratch
the Vitroceramic cooktop.
Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt
build up and ensure that the cooktop
remains bright and attractive.
Wipe the cooktop surround with a damp
hot soapy cloth and dry.
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.

Recommendations
Use only pots with a solid level base. An
uneven base will prolong cooking time
and waste energy.
Use pots with a base diameter slightly
larger than that of the thermal area. This
will ensure even heat distribution and
prevent spillage from dripping onto and
staining the hot zone.
Always cover the pot with a lid. This will
conserve energy and minimize spillage.
Save energy by switching the plate off 5
to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy
cooking period. The Vitroceramic cooktop
will retain sufficient residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
A pot with rough edges could scratch the
Vitroceramic cooktop if it were dragged
across the surface of the cooktop.
Any spillage of sugar solution such as
jam, must be removed immediately. If
allowed to cool on the Vitroceramic
cooktop it could pit and damage the
surface.
Do not cover the cooktop with aluminium
foil and do not use poor quality aluminium
pots. These will leave unsightly deposits
which in time, could adhere to the
Vitroceramic cooktop.
