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 sufficient 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 - specifically 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 film 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 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.
