Maintenance and 

cleaning

•   Do not use a steam cleaner.

•   Clean the surface of your hob regularly once 

it has cooled down. Do not use abrasive 

products or sponges. Clean with a damp cloth 

and soapy water (3.1.1).

•   Once a week, clean thoroughly with products 

specifi cally designed for vetroceramic hobs. 

We recommend VITRO-CLEN for cleaning and 

maintaining your vitroceramic hob.

•   Stubborn stains can be removed with the 

glass scraper (3.1.2).

•   If you accidentally burn some sugar, sugary 

elements or plastic on the hob, remove it as 

soon as possible with a scraper while it is still 

hot. If this is not done, you may be left with 

permanent marks.

•   Use the blade of the scraper in perfect 

condition; replace it if is damaged.

to cancel the rapid heating, press the icon of 

the programmed element and select a new 

power.

On the models with double elements or a 

large hotplate, turning the control to the left 

will adjust a part of the element and turning 

the control to the right will adjust the whole 

element (2.10.3).

will vary according to the power selected 

and a    or a dot will be displayed on the 

elements that are still hot. 

Do not touch 

these elements, as there is a risk of 

burning yourself.

Caution:

Recommendations:

•   Avoid knocking receptacles against the glass.

•   Aluminium receptacles are not advisable as 

they can stain the glass, unless they have a 

stainless steel protective base.

•   The heat elements should not be operated 

without a receptacle.

•   The base of the receptacle must be fl at and 

dry.

•   Make sure that the diameters of the 

receptacles are larger than or the same as 

the element to be used and place them in the 

centre of the heat source.

•   Try not to move the receptacles as this can 

scratch the glass.

•   Only use the appliance for cooking food. Do 

not use the hob as a worktop.

•   Do not apply cold water directly onto the hob 

when it is hot.

Caution:

 Intermittent operation of the cooking 

zones is not a fault. They operate with longer 

or shorter on and off periods depending on the 

desired power.

Safety

The hob has been designed with protection of 

the environment in mind.

Be environmentally aware. 

Use the adequate 

power for each cooking operation and select the 

receptacles of a suitable size for the food you are 

going to prepare. The heat transmission is best 

when the base of the receptacle and the diameter 

of the cooking zone are the same size. 

When you have fi nished cooking, if you like you 

can leave the receptacle where it is to make use 

of the residual heat accumulated.  This will save 

energy.

Use a lid whenever you can in order to reduce the 

heat lost through steam.

Electrical and electronic appliance waste 

management.

Do not dispose of appliances by mixing them with 

general domestic waste.

Take your hob to a special collection centre.

The recycling of domestic appliances avoids 

negative consequences to our health, the 

environment and enables us to save energy and 

resources.
