ADVICE FOR SAFE USE OF THE
COOKTOP
•
Before switching on make sure that
you have the correct knob for the
hotplate chosen . It is advisable to
put the pan on the hotplate before
switching on and to take it away after
switching off .
•
Use cookware with flat and even bot
-
toms (be careful when using cast iron
vessels) . Uneven bottoms can scratch
the glass ceramic surfaces . Be careful
that the bottom is clean and dry .
•
Pots with aluminium bottoms may lea-
ve silver streaks or spots on the bob .
•
Do not leave wet or damp lids on the bob .
•
The glass-ceramic surface and pans
must be clean . Carefully eliminate any
food remains (especially containing
sugar), dirt etc . with the ai d of a cle-
ansing agent .
•
Make sure that the handles of cookwa-
re do not stick out over the edge of the
cooker, to avoid them being knocked
over by accident . This also makes it
more difficult for children to reach the
cooking vessels .
•
Do not lean over the cooking zones
when they are switched on .
•
Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on
the glass ceramic cooktop . If the sur-
face is broken or damaged unplug the
appliance and contact the after-sales
service .
•
Do not put aluminium foil or plastic
objects on the cooking zones when
they are hot .
•
Remember that the cooking zones re-
main hot for some time after they are
switched off (about 30 mm .) .
•
Follow the cleaning instructions carefully .
•
If you note a crack in the cooktop,
switch the appliance off immedia-
tely and call the After-Sales Service.
Do not scratch the cooktop with
cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the glass ceramic sur-
face as a work surface.
CLEANING
Before you begin cleaning make sure
that the appliance is switched off.
Remove any encrustation using a scraper
specific for glass ceramic surfaces.
Dust or food particles can be removed with
a damp cloth .
If you use a detergent, please make sure
that it is not abrasive or scouring .
Abrasive or scouring powders can dama-
ge the glass surface of the hob . All traces
of the cleaner have to be removed with a
damp cloth .
It is highly recommended to keep off the
hob any article which can melt: plastic,
aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures
etc .
If any of these products has melted on the
ceramic surface, you should remove it im-
mediately (when the surface is still hot) by
using a scraper to avoid any permanent
damage to the surface of the hob .
Avoid using any knife or sharp utensil since
these can damage the ceramic .
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive spon-
ge which could scratch the surface perma-
nently .
ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using
a special tool (i.e. scraper) take extra
care to avoid damage to the seal at the
edges of the glass ceramic surface.
