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, products in spray cans for cleaning
barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust
products, powder detergents or sponges with
abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface
beyond repair.
! 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 the 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 protective maintenance product: the
invisible film left by this product protects the
surface from drips during cooking. This may 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 in models with outer
frame)
Stainless 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.
! Frame made of aluminum with an aspect steel. Dont
use products of cleaning and spot remover forbidden
for aluminium.
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.
