If the CleanProtect logo is present on the glass, the hob has been treated
with CleanProtect technology. This exclusive coating ensures excellent
cleaning results and keeps the hob surface shiny for longer.
Daily cleaning after each use is suggested.
To clean CleanProtect hobs, follow these recommendations:
•
Soak the zones that need to be cleaned with water making sure to
cover the entire stained area and being careful not to drop water on
the control panel.
•
For the water soaking:
•
In normal conditions, wait at least 2 minutes.
•
In heavy-dirt conditions, wait for at least 5 minutes.
•
If the water dries on the hob it is necessary to repeat the soaking step.
•
Use a non-abrasive sponge to remove deposits and dry the hob after
cleaning.
