4.2 Cleaning the appliance
Recommendations for cleaning the hob
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
Light coloured marks from pans with
aluminium bases can be easily cleaned off
with a cloth moistened in vinegar. In the
case of burnt-on residues after cooking,
rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a
clean cloth.
Dirt which may have fallen on the hob
while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can
scratch the hob when moving pans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the
cooking surface immediately.
Changes in colour do not affect the
operation and stability of the glass. These
are not alterations to the material of the hob
but just residues which have not been
removed and have then carbonised. Shiny
surfaces can form due to the bases of pans,
especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the
surface, and due to the use of unsuitable
detergents. They are difficult to remove
using conventional cleaning products. It
may be necessary to repeat the cleaning
process several times. Use of corrosive
detergents or rubbing of pan bases can
wear away the decoration on the hob over
time and contribute to the formation of stains.
Weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week
using an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning
product. Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. The silicon in these products
creates a protective, water-repellent
membrane which also resists dirt. All marks
stay on the membrane and can therefore be
removed easily.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts
made of steel or that have metallic
surface finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickel-
or chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on
the hob while cooking or place
materials or substances which could
melt on it (plastic or tin foil). If this
happens, to avoid damaging the
surface, turn off cooking zones
immediately and clean the surface while
the zone is still warm.
We recommend the use of
cleaning products distributed by
the manufacturer.
