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 (for
example, spray cans for cleaning barbecues and
ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these
may scratch the surface.
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.
If the hob is particularly dirty, rub with a special
glass ceramic cleaning product, rinse and dry.
To remove more stubborn dirt, use the scraper
provided. Remove spills as soon as possible,
without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid
residues forming crusty deposits. You can obtain
excellent results by using a rust-proof steel wire
sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic
surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
The scraper provided is sharp: be careful when
using it.
If plastic or sugary substances are accidentally
melted on the hob, remove them immediately with
the scraper, while the surface is still hot.
Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a
special maintenance and protection product: the
invisible film left by this product protects the
surface from drips during cooking. This should be
done while the appliance is warm or cold.
Always remember to rinse the appliance with clean
water and dry the hob thoroughly: residues can
become encrusted during cooking.
Stainless steel frame (only for models with outer
frame)
Rust-proof steel can be marked by hard water that has
been left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning
products containing phosphorus. After cleaning, it is
advisable to rinse the surface well and dry it
thoroughly. If water is spilt on the surface, dry it
quickly and thoroughly.
Removing the hob
If it is necessary to remove the hob:
1. loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on
each side
2. loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in each
corner
3. take the hob out of its installation cavity
Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
If the appliance breaks down, contact a Service
Centre.
