Warnings and suggestions for using
glass: Cleaning and care
Owing to the high temperatures that the triple-flame burner ring cover has to withstand (as well
as the stainless steel areas such as the plate rings, grease traps and the area around the
burners, etc.), they will eventually become discoloured with time. Clean them each time you use
them, with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.
When you are cleaning the pan supports, take care with the rubber rests, as they could come
off and the pan support could scratch the glass next time you use it.
After washing the pan supports, dry them completely before cooking with them again. Drops
of water or damp patches on the surfaces when you begin cooking may cause deterioration of
the enamel.

DON'T
Never use detergent
powder, oven-cleaning
sprays or abrasive sponges,
as they may scratch the
glass.
Never use sharp objects
such as metal scourers
or knives to remove the
hardened remains of
food from the surface.
Never use a knife,
scraper or similar to
clean the area where the
glass meets the trim of
the burners or the metal
trim edging.
Never slide receptacles
across the glass surface,
as you may scratch it. In
addition, try not to drop
heavy or sharp objects
on the glass.
Never strike any part of
the cooking hob.
Grains of sand that may
come from cleaning
fruits and vegetables
will scratch the glass
surface.
DO
To prolong the life of the
glass, always clean with a
soapy sponge, but only
when the appliance has
cooled down.
Clean the surface of the
heating element once it has
cooled down, and every
time you use it.
Even small patches of food
or dirt will burn when you
switch the plate on again.
To keep the burners
and pan supports clean,
you must clean them
periodically by placing
them in soapy weather
and brushing and with
a non-metallic brush to
ensure that the holes
and grooves are
perfectly clean, and can
provide a perfect flame.
Always dry the burner
covers and the pan
supports if they have
become wet.
After cleaning and
drying the burners,
make sure the burner
covers are correctly
placed on the burner's
flame diffuser.
