Clean the product thoroughly after each use. In
this way it will be possible to remove cooking
residues more easily, thus avoiding these from
burning the next time the appliance is used.

detergents or cleaning materials.
Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning
powders/creams or any sharp objects during

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface, which may
result in shattering of the glass.

Cleaning the hob
Cleaning the burner
1. Remove the saucepan carriers from the hob.
2. Remove all removable parts of the burner and
clean only by hand with sponge, some detergent
and hot water.
3. Clean the non-removable parts of the burner with
a wet cloth.
4. Clean the plug and thermal element (in models
with ignition and thermal element) with a slightly
moist cloth. Afterwards, dry with a clean cloth.
Make sure that flame holes and plug are totally
dry.
Otherwise, no spark occurs at the end of ignition.
5. When placing the pan supports, pay attention to
place the pan supports so that the burners are
centered.
Glass ceramic surface
Wipe the glass ceramic surface (vitroceramic) with
cold water, paying attention to leave no residual
cleaning agents, and dry with a soft clothing. Residues
may cause damage on the glass ceramic surface
when using the hob for the next time.
Dried residues on the glass ceramic surface
(vitroceramic) should under no circumstances be
scraped with hook blades, steel wool or similar tools.
Remove calcium stains (yellow stains) with
commercially available lime remover or a small amount
of lime remover such as vinegar or lemon juice.
If the surface is heavily soiled, apply the cleaning
agent on a sponge and wait until it is absorbed well.
Then, clean the surface of the hob with a damp cloth.
Sugar-based foods such as thick cream and
syrup must be cleaned promptly without
waiting the surface to cool down. Otherwise,
glass ceramic surface may get damaged
permanently.
Slight color fading may occur on coatings or other
surfaces in time. This does not affect the operation of
the product.
Color fading and stains on the glass ceramic surface is
