Care and maintenance

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 suffi cient simply to wash the hob using a 

damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen towel.

•  If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special 

glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and 

dry thoroughly.

•  To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper. 

Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting 

for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming 

crusty deposits. You can achieve excellent results 

by using a rust-proof steel wire sponge - specifi cally 

designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in 

soapy water.

•  If any 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 

fi lm left by this product protects the surface from 

drips during cooking. This maintenance task should 

be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) 

or cold.

•  Always remember to rinse the appliance well with 

clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can 

become encrusted during subsequent cooking 

processes.

Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer frame)

Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which 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.

!

Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is 

similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or 

degreasing products which are not suitable for use with 

aluminium.

Disassembling the hob

If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:

1. Loosen the screws fi xing the alignment springs on 

each side.

2. Loosen the screws holding the fi xing 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.

Technical description of the models

The induction system is the quickest existing way 

of cooking. Unlike traditional hotplates where the 

cooking zone heats up, with the induction system 

heat is generated directly inside pans which have 

ferromagnetic bases.

Key:

I   = single induction cooking zone

B  = booster: the power level of the cooking zone may 

be boosted to 3000 W

*   = the maximum power level is limited while the 

booster is activated for the relevant rear cooking 

zone (see 

Start-up and use

).
