Maintenance and useful tips
Maintenance
Turn the hob off by pressing the
key.
Should you accidentally press the ON/OFF key and turn the hob back on during cleaning, turn it off immediately.
The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal shocks and
to mechanical shocks under normal conditions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we recommend you care for
your hob as follows:
•
for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels.
•
If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thoroughly.
•
food residue and dirt can be removed using a special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for the hob
to cool down in order to avoid incrustations. For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic
glass cleaning soaked in soapy water.
•
When the hob is clean, you can apply a special product for the care and protection of the same: this type of product
leaves an invisible film on the surface of the hob to protect the same against any spills and boiled-over food. It is best
if you do this when the hob is lukewarm or cold.
•
Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean water and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning products could
become encrusted onto the hob during subsequent cooking.
•
Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners to clean your appliance.
Precautions
•
Never use abrasive or corrosive substances, such as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain removers or
rust removers, scouring powders and abrasive sponges: even the delicate ones could scratch the hob surface
irreversibly.
•
We recommend you keep all items which could melt away from the hob, such as plastic utensils, sugar or
products with a high sugar content. Should liquid boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immediately (while the
hob is still hot) using a razor blade scraper, in order to avoid damaging the surface.
•
Use this hob exclusively for cooking. Do not place items on the hob when the same is not in use. Do not use the
hob as a work surface (by placing lids, saucepans or dishcloths on it, for example), nor as a chopping board.
•
Never leave aluminium wrappers, aluminium foil and plastic cookware on the hob when hot or still warm.
•
If you use small electric appliances near the hob, make sure their power supply cable does not come into contact
with the hot parts of the hob.
•
Make sure all pan handles are always pointing inwards towards the centre of the hob to prevent any accidental
spills.
•
Certain fundamental rules must be followed when using electrical appliances. The following are of particular
importance:
•
do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands,
•
never use the appliance when barefoot,
•
do not use extensions; if this is inevitable, please take the necessary precautions,
•
never pull on the power supply cable or the appliance itself to unplug it from the mains socket,
•
never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents (rain, sun, etc.),
•
do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with the appliance to use it without supervision.
•
If the surface of the glass cracks, unplug the appliance immediately. For any repairs, contact only an authorised
after-sales service centre and demand original spare parts. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the
safety of the appliance.
•
The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a shock
caused by a sharp object, such as a tool for example. In this case, unplug the appliance immediately and
contact an authorised after-sales service centre to have it repaired.
•
Cut the power supply cable after disconnecting it from the power mains when you decide not to use the appliance
any longer. Also make all potentially dangerous parts of the appliance safe, above all for children who could play with
the appliance.
•
Do not stare at the halogen lamps featured by the cooking zones.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the hob caused by incorrect use.
