• Never carry out any cleaning or maintenance work

without having detached the plug from the mains.

• In case of malfunction, under no circumstances should

you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs

carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury

• Do not use unstable or deformed pans.

• The appliance should not be operated by people (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local

legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2012/19/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires

that old household electrical appliances must not

be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal

waste stream. Old appliances must be collected

separately in order to optimise the recovery and

recycling of the materials they contain and reduce

the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product

reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose

of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer

for information concerning the correct disposal of their

old appliance.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before

carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as stain

removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with

abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the

appliance.

• It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp sponge

and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.

• The electric hotplates should be cleaned with a damp

cloth and lubricated with a little oil while still warm.

• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has

been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive

detergents containing phosphorus. After cleaning, rinse

and dry any remaining drops of water.
