5.1 Cleaning
WARNING: Switch off the appli-
ance and allow it to cool before
cleaning is to be carried out.
General Instructions
• Check whether the cleaning materials
are appropriate and recommended by
the manufacturer before use on your
appliance.
• Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners
which do not contain particles. Do
not use caustic (corrosive) creams,
abrasive cleaning powders, rough
wire wool or hard tools as they may
damage the hob surfaces.
Do not use cleaners that contain
particles, as they may scratch the
glass, enamelled and/or painted parts of
your appliance.
• Should any liquids overfl ow, clean
them immediately to avoid parts
becoming damaged.
Do not use steam cleaners for
cleaning any part of the appliance.
Cleaning the Ceramic Glass
Ceramic glass can hold heavy utensils but
may be broken if it is hit with a sharp object.
WARNING: Ceramic Cooktops - if
the surface is cracked, to avoid the
possibility of an electric shock, switch off
the appliance and call for service.
• Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean
the vitroceramic glass. Then, rinse and
dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning materials
meant for steel as they may dam-
age the glass.
• If substances with a low melting point
are used in the cookware’s base
or coatings, they can damage the
vitroceramic cooktop. If plastic, tin foil,
sugar or sugary foods have fallen on
the hot vitroceramic cooktop, please
scrape it off the hot surface as quickly
and as safely as possible. If these
substances melt, they can damage
the vitroceramic cooktop. When you
cook very sugary items like jam, apply
a layer of a suitable protective agent
beforehand if it is possible.
• Dust on the surface must be cleaned
with a wet cloth.
• Any changes in colour to the ceramic
glass will not aff ect the structure or
durability of the ceramic and is not
due to a change in the material.
Colour changes to the ceramic glass
may be for a number of reasons:
1. Spilt food has not been cleaned off the
surface.
2. Using inappropriate utensils on the
hob will damage the surface and may
cause the cracking of the glass.
3. Using the wrong cleaning materials.
