SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

Energy saving tips

For optimum results, it is advisable to:

• Use pots and pans with bottom width equal to that of the cooking zone.
• Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
• When possible, keep pot lids on during cooking.
• Use a pressure cooker to to save even more energy and time.
• Place the pot in the middle of the cooking zone marked on the hob.

BEFORE USE

• IMPORTANT: The cooking zones will not switch on if pots are not the right size. Only use pots bearing the symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM” (Figure opposite). Place the pot on the required cooking zone before switching the hob on.

EXISTING POTS AND PANS

Use a magnet to check if the pot is suitable for the induction hob: pots and pans are unsuitable if not magnetically detectable.

• Make sure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they could scratch the hob. Check dishes.
• Never place hot pots or pans on the surface of the hob’s control panel. This could result in damage.

• The distance between the underside of the appliance and the separator panel must respect the dimensions given in the figure.
• In order to ensure the correct operation of the product, do not obstruct the minimum required clearance between the hob and the top of the unit (min. 5 mm).
• If an undertop oven is installed, make sure the oven is equipped with a cooling system.
• Do not install the hob above a dishwasher or washing-machine, so that the electronic circuits do not come into contact with steam or moisture which could damage them.
• In the case of flush-mounted installation, call the After-Sales Service to request assembly of screws kit 4801 211 00112.

CLEANING

If your glass has the iXeliumTM logo, your hob is equipped with iXeliumTM treatment. iXeliumTM is the exclusive Whirlpool finishing that guarantees a perfect clean and a long-lasting brilliance. Therefore, if you have a IXELIUM hob, we strongly suggest to observe the following cleaning recommendations:

• Use a soft cloth (microfibre is best) dampened with water or with everyday glass cleaning detergent.
• If you want to enhance furtherly cleaning results, just let the glass in contact with a wet cloth for couple of minutes.

IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Their use could eventually ruin the glass.

• After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains due to food residuals.
• Sugar or foods with a high sugar content damage the hob and must be immediately removed.
• Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.
• Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a specific hob cleaner (follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).
• Liquid splillages on the cooking zones may make pan vibrate or move
• Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning it.
