Care and cleaning
• Never use abrasive sponges, wire wool,
hydrochloric acid or other products that
might scratch or mark the surface.
• Food that falls accidentally or builds up
on the surface, the functional or aesthetic
elements of the Hob must not be eaten.
• Switch off or unplug the appliance from
the mains supply before carrying out any
maintenance work.
• Clean the appliance after every use, to
prevent any residual food from burning on.
It is much harder work to remove crusted
and burned-on dirt.
• For day-to-day dirt, use a soft cloth or
sponge and a suitable detergent. Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations regarding
detergents to be used. The use of protective
detergents is recommended.
• Remove crusted dirt, for example milk that
has boiled over, using a scraper pad suitable
for vitreous ceramic, while the cooke-hob
is still hot. Follow the manufacturer's
cooling fan, which is activated to reduce and
regulate the temperature of the electronic
system. The fan may also continue to run
after the appliance is turned off if the
detected temperature of the cooktop is still
too hot after turning it off.
Rhythmic sounds, similar to the ticking
sound of a clock
This noise occurs only when at least three
cooking zones are operating and disappears
or weakens when some of them are
switched off. The noises described are a
normal element of the described induction
technology and should not be regarded as
defects.

be used.
• Remove food containing sugar, for example
jam that has spilled during cooking, using
a scraper pad suitable for vitreous ceramic,
while the Hob is still hot. If you do not, the
residue may damage the vitreous ceramic
surface.
• Remove any melted plastic using a scraper
pad suitable for vitreous ceramic, while the
Hob is still hot. If you do not, the residue
may damage the vitreous ceramic surface.
• Remove limescale using a small amount
of limescale remover solution, for example
vinegar or lemon juice, once the Hob has
cooled down. Then clean again with a damp
cloth.
• Do not cut or prepare foodstuffs on the
surface, and do not drop hard objects onto
it. Do not drag pans or plates over the
surface.
• Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
