3. Maintenance and cleaning

• Do not use a steam cleaner.
• Clean the surface of your cooktop regu-

larly once it has cooled down. Do not use
abrasive products or sponges. Clean with
a damp cloth and soapy water (3.1.1).

• Once a week, clean thoroughly with prod-

ucts specifically designed for
vitroceramic cooktops.

• Stubborn stains can be removed with the

glass scraper (3.1.2).

• If you accidentally burn some sugar, sug-

ary foods or plastic on the cooktop, re-
move it as soon as possible with a
scraper while still hot. If this is not done,
you may be left with permanent marks.

• Use the blade of the scraper in perfect

condition; replace it if is damaged.

• The power circuit supplying the cooktop

must have an all-pole circuit breaker with
at least 3 mm space between contacts.

• The cooktop must be installed by an au-

thorized installer, who shall follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and dia-
grams.

• The installation must be of the appropri-

ate size for the maximum power indi-
cated on the characteristics plate and the
power socket with the regulatory ground.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by the post-sales service or
similarly qualified personnel for safety
purposes.

• The element is equipped with an inner

temperature limiter which turns the ele-
ment off in the event of the cooktop over-
heating.

• After each use, switch the element off us-

ing its control.

• If the surface of the glass is cracked or

broken, unplug the appliance immedi-
ately to avoid the possibility of an electric
shock. Do not use the cooktop until the
glass has been replaced (4.1.1).

• If anything spills onto the control keys,

the cooktop will stop and emit a sound
(4.1.2).

4. Safety

• If you press a sensor down for too long or

there is an object activating the sensors,
the cooktop will stop and emit a sound
(4.1.3).

• Do not place utensils with hot bases onto

the sensors; you can burn yourself when
pressing them (4.1.3).

• Keep young children away; the heating

surfaces can be extremely hot when in
use. Use the locking system to prevent
children from playing with the controls.

• This appliance is not designed for use by

people with disabilities.

• Always stay nearby when cooking dishes

or food with fat or oil. Excessive heat
could cause them to catch fire.

• If the cooktop is installed above a drawer,

no flammable objects must be stored in-
side.
