Power surges
When the touch control system is sub-
jected to a higher voltage than the
usual ranges allowed in power grids,
the hot plates will disconnect and a
continuous beep will be heard.
When the nominal voltage is re-esta-
blished, the beeping stops and the
message on the displays disappears.
The hot plates remain disconnected
and the H indicating residual heat
remains on the displays if these were
on before the surge. The appliance is
then ready to be used.
The touch control detects these
power surges
appliance is connected to the
mains, even if it is not being used at
that moment. The alarm described
above might therefore be activated
even when the touch control is
switched off.
Unusually high power surges
can damage the control system (like
(1)
with any electrical appliance).

Tips for using ceramic
hot plates
* Use pots and pans with a heavy
(1), the
and completely flat base.
* Pans with a smaller diameter than
the shown heated area are not
recommended.
* Do not slide pots and pans over the
glass because they could scratch it.
* Although the glass can take knocks
from large pots and pans without
sharp edges, try not to knock it.
* To avoid damaging the surface, do
not drag pots and pans over the
glass and keep the underneath of
them clean and in good condition.
Try not to spill sugar or pro-
ducts containing sugar on the glass
because while the surface is hot
they could damage it.

Cleaning and maintenance

To keep the appliance in good condi-
tion, clean it using suitable products
and tools once it has cooled down.
This will make the job easier and avoid
the build-up of dirt Never use harsh
the
cleaning products or tools that could
scratch the surface, or steam-operated
equipment.
Light dirt not stuck to the surface can
be cleaned using a damp cloth and a
gentle detergent or warm soapy water.
However, for deeper stains or grease
use a special cleaner for ceramic hot
plates and follow the instructions on the
bottle. Dirt that is firmly stuck due to
being burned repeatedly can be remo-
ved using a scraper with a blade.
Slight tinges of colour are caused by pots
and pans with dry grease residue under-
neath or due to grease between the
glass and the pot during cooking. These
can be removed using a nickel scourer
with water or a special cleaner for cera-
mic hot plates. Plastic objects, sugar or
food containing a lot of sugar that have
melted onto the surface must be remo-
ved immediately using a scraper.
Metallic sheens are caused by drag-
whenever the
ging metal pots and pans over the
glass. They can be removed by clea-
ning thoroughly using a special clea-
ner for ceramic hot plats, although you
may need to repeat the process seve-
ral times.
Warning:
fully. The blade could cause injury!
rrectly, the blade could break and a
fragment could get caught between
the surrounding trim and the glass.
If this happens, do not try to remo-
ve it using your hands, carefully use
tweezers or a knife with a fine edge.
