Use a small amount of water when cooking. This will save energy. It
also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
7. Care and Cleaning
• For cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and cooled down.
• For safety reasons, the cleaning of the appliance with steam jet or high
pressure cleaning equipment is not permitted.
• Do not use scourers or any harsh/abrasive cleaning agents to clean your
cooktop, as these can scratch the ceramic glass or stainless steel.

Kind of dirt?
Non-sugary boilovers: dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over,
hot sugary spills on the surface
what to do?
Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
Use a a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper as soon as
possible.
°
Hold the scraper or utensil at a 30
angle and scrape the soiling or spill
to a cool area of the cooktop.
Remove the soiling with ceramic cooktop cleaner using a sponge or non-
abrasive scourer suitable for ceramic glass as soon as possible.
Remove any excess cleaner and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Apply ceramic cooktop conditioner or protector following the instructions
on the dispenser. A micro fiber or ‘glass’ cloth is the best choice.
Important
:
Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible.
If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove. And
they could permanently pit the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
Cut hazard: The blade of scraper is razor-sharp. Use extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of children.
NOTE:
When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no ‘hot surface’
indication but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.
Do not use heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive
cleaning agents such as oven spray or stain remover.
Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained.
