Important:
• Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads as they may damage

deposits and stains from food residue.
• Sugar or foods with a high sugar content can damage the hob and
must be immediately removed.

(follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).
• Spills of liquid in the cooking zones can cause the pots to move or
vibrate.

If the iXelium ™ logo appears on the glass, the hob has been treated
with iXelium ™ technology, an exclusive Whirlpool finish which ensures
perfect cleaning results, as well as keeping the surface of the hob shiny
for longer.

• Use a soft cloth (microbre is best) dampened with water or with
everyday glass cleaning detergent.
• For best results, leave a wet cloth on the glass hob surface for a few
minutes.
