D – Ensure that the pan covers the whole cooking area.
E – The bottom of the pan must be flat and dry so as to use less energy and keep your ceramic hob in
good condition.
F – Do not leave the pan handles sticking out as they could be knocked over accidentally.
G – Do not forget that the cooking area remains hot for quite a long time even after it has been switched
off. Make intelligent use of this characteristic by switching off the cooking area a few minutes before
completing cooking. The residual heat that has been accumulated in the ceramic will thus enable you
to complete cooking without using more electric power.
H – It is preferable not to cook on the ceramic hob with pans that have been used on gas burners. The
flames will have deformed the bottom of the pans. Do not use aluminium pans on your ceramic cook
top as this metal is very soft and can damage and/or permanently stain your cook top.

CLEANING THE CERMANIC HOB
The flat surface of the ceramic hob makes it considerably easier to clean than traditional hobs. Clean the
hob in the same way as any glass surface in your home. For more accurate cleaning, a special product
may be used which can be supplied by Ilve Spare Parts. Never use abrasive products. Routine cleaning
must be carried out when the hob is cold. Caution: take care not to drop substances containing sugar on
the hob during operation. If this should happen, immediately turn off the respective heating element and
clean with warm soapy water before the glass cools. When performing this special cleaning, take
particular care not to burn yourself.
We recommend cleaning the cooking top once it has cooled down. The stainless steel and painted parts
must be cleaned with lukewarm water and anti-corrosive liquid detergents. Dry the parts with a soft cloth.
Never use steel wools or abrasive detergents. The brilliance of the stainless steel, brass and copper is
obtained by using periodically detergents or similar products. The instrument panel and all the aluminum
parts must be cleaned only with alcohol or degreasing products. Never use lemon on MATT / GRAPHITE.
