• Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it to cool down.
• Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for glass ceramic sur-
faces should be used. They are obtainable from hardware stores.
• Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface will quickly burn and
will make cleaning more difficult.
• It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which are liable to melt,
such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based products.
MAINTENANCE:
. Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the hob surface.
. Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper.
. Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.
If there are still some stubborn stains:
. Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning
fluid on the surface.
. Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of
30° to the hob, until the stains disappear.
. Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen
paper until the surface is clean.
. Repeat the operation if necessary.
A FEW HINTS:
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to prevent scratches and
wear. Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again.
To remove marks left by water, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then
wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid.
The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat-bottomed cooking vessels,
however, it is always better to lift them when moving them from one zone to another.
The control knobs can be removed for a complete cleaning. However, you must care
not to let any liquid go into the open zones, and then to push the knobs fully on fitting
back.
NB: • do not use a sponge which is too wet.
• never use a knife or a screwdriver.
• a scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface, as long as it is kept at
an angle of 30°.
• never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of children.
• never use abrasive products or scouring powders.
• The metal surround :
To safely clean the metal surround wash with soap and water, rinse, then dry with a soft
cloth.
