Cleaning The Hob - CDA PC 16 2 SS User Operating Instructions Manual

Safety hints:
– Before you switch the hob on, make sure
you know which knob controls the
required cooking plate. We advise you to
set the pan over the cooking plate before
switching it on. Remove the pan after you
have switched the cooking plate off.
– Do not use pots and pans with rough
bases (pay attention to cookware made
of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage
the glass surface of the hob (scratches).
Make sure that the pan bottom is dry and
clean.
– Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the hob.
– Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
hob.
– The glass-ceramic surface and pans must
be clean. Carefully eliminate any food
remains (especially containing sugar), dirt
etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.
– Pan handles should never stand out
beyond the kitchen worktop, as there is
a great danger of knocking the pan over.
This will also ensure that children cannot
reach them.
– Do not use the hob if the glass surface
is broken or cracked in any way. Please
disconnect the hob from the mains and
contact the after-sales service.
– Do not lean over the cooking plate when
in use.
– Do not lay cooking foil or plastic
materials on the ceramic surface when it
is hot.
– Remember that the surface remains hot
for a long time (about 30 min.) after the
cooking plate has been switched off.
– Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
Do not use the glass surface for stor-
age.

Cleaning the hob

Before you begin cleaning make sure
that the appliance is switched off.
Remove spillages and other types of
incrustations by using a scraper.
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 have to be
removed with a damp cloth.
It is highly recommended to keep off the
hob any article which can melt: plastic,
aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures
etc.
If any of these products has melted on the
ceramic surface, you should remove it
immediately (while the surface is still hot)
by using a scraper to avoid any
permanent damage to the surface of the
hob.
Avoid using any knife or sharp utensil
since these can damage the ceramic.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
in an irreparable way.
ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using
a special tool (i.e. scraper) take extra
care to avoid damage to the seal at the
edges of the glass ceramic surface.
