Care and maintenance
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe
local legislation so that the packaging may be
reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) states that household appliances should
not be disposed of using the normal solid urban
waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be
collected separately in order to optimise the cost
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the
machine, while preventing potential damage to
the atmosphere and to public health. The
crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to
remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct
disposal of exhausted household appliances,
owners may contact the public service provided
or their local dealer.
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.
