MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning the Hob, ensure the appliance has cooled down. Remove the plug from
the socket or (if connected directly) switch off the electricity supply.
When cleaning the enamelled, varnished or chrome sections, use warm soapy water
or a non caustic detergent. For stainless steel use an appropriate cleaning solution.
Hotplates should only be cleaned with a cotton cloth coated with vaseline or seed oil.

In the vetroceramic hobs a residual heat indicator light comes on and remains lit till the

A neon indicator light adjacent to the control knob will glow when the electric plate is
in use.
The additional electric hotplate/ring (ø 80 mm) where featured is turned on and off by
pressing 0/I button,this hotplate has a fixed heat setting.
Only pans which have smooth flat bases should be used on the electric hotplates. The
size of the pan should be as close as possible to the diameter of the hotplate, and ne-
ver smaller (see Fig. 14). The base of the pan should be dry and spillages should be
avoided. Empty pans should not be left on the plates, nor should the plates left switched
on without a pan.
