Maintenance and useful tips
•
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.
•
Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners to clean your appliance.
•
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.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the hob caused by incorrect use.
