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

).
