NB:

Do not use a sponge which is too wet.
Never use a knife or a screwdriver.
A scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface,
as long as it is kept at an angle of 30°.
Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach
of children.
Never use abrasive products or scouring powders.

• The metal surround : 

to safely clean the metal surround wash

with soap and water, rinse, then dry with a soft cloth.

30° Maxi

• Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it

to cool down.

• Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for

glass ceramic surfaces should be used. They are obtainable
from hardware stores.

• Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface

• It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which

are liable to melt, such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based
products.

MAINTENANCE:

- Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the

hob surface.

- Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp

kitchen paper.

- Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is

clean.

If there are still some stubborn stains:

- Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning fluid on the

surface.

- Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of 30° to the hob,

until the stains disappear.

- Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is

clean.

- Repeat the operation if necessary.

A FEW HINTS:
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to
prevent scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean
before using the hob again. To remove marks left by water, use
a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then wipe with
absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid.
The control knobs can be removed for a complete cleaning.

However, you must care not to let any liquid go into the open
zones, and then to push the knobs fully on fitting back.

The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat-
bottomed cooking vessels, however, it is always better to lift them
when moving them from one zone to another.

6. HOB COOKWARE ADVICE

•

Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and
thick bases :

using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause 
food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide an even 
distribution of heat.

• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : 

when filling 

pans with liquid or using one that has been stored in the 
refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry 
before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob.

• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely

cover the surface unit :

the size of the pan should be no 

smaller than the heating area. 
If it is slightly wider the energy will be used at its maximum 
efficiency.

Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best

performance from your hob.

7. HOW TO OPERATE THE GLASS CERAMIC
    HOB

• Locate the sign corresponding to the cooking zone that you need:

Each surface unit is regulated by a control knob which provides
access to any power levels.

• It is recommended that heat setting is at its highest until it has

properly warmed up and then lower to the desired cooking setting.

• The residual heat indicator lights up when the heat zone

temperature reaches 60°C and above. It will stay on, even if the
unit is switched off, until the surface has cooled down. It will
switch off when the temperature of the heat zone falls below 60°C.

• To switch off an heat zone, turn the corresponding knob back

on the "0" setting.

• Positions : the examples below are intended as a guide. When

you become familiar with using your hob you will be able to work
out the settings which suit you best.

1 Very low

To keep a dish hot, melt butter and chocolate...

2 Low

Slow coocking, sauces, stews, rice pudding, poached eggs...

3 Moderately

Beans, frozen foods, fruit, boiling water...

4 Medium

Steamed apples, fresh vegetables, pasta, crepes, fish...

5 High

More intense coocking, omelettes, steaks...

6 Very high

Steaks, chops, frying...

THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE 

- The following information will

help you to choose cookware which will give good performance.

Stainless Steel : highly recommended.

 Especially good with a

sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits
of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat
distribution).

Aluminium : heavy weight recommended.

 Good conductivity.

Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob,
but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be
used.

Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended.

 Poor performance.

May scratch the surface.

Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended.

 Good

performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear
as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the hob
is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated
copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob.

Porcelain/enamel : 

Good perfomance only with a thiny smooth,

flat base.

Glass-ceramic : not recommended.

 Poor performance. May

scratch the surface.
