• When the liquid starts to boil, turn
down the flame to barely simmer the
liquid.
WARNING!
Cookware must not enter the
control zone.
Make sure pots do not protrude over the
edges of the cooktop and that they are
centrally positioned on the rings in order
to obtain lower gas consumption.
Do not place unstable or deformed
cookware on the ring.
6. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Switch the appliance off and let it
cool down before you clean it.
Disconnect the appliance from
the electrical supply, before car-
rying out any cleaning or mainte-
nance work.
WARNING!
For safety reasons, do not clean
the appliance with steam clean-
ers or high-pressure cleaners.
WARNING!
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
steel wool pads or acids, they
can cause damage to the appli-
ance.
You can remove the pan supports to
easily clean the hob. After cleaning the
hob, make sure the pan supports are
correctly positioned. Pay attention when
you replace the pan supports to prevent
the glass hob top from scratching. When
you wash the pan supports by hand, take
care when you dry them as the enamel-
ling process occasionally leaves rough
edges. If necessary, remove stubborn
stains using a paste cleaner.
Removing the dirt:
1. – Remove immediately: melting
plastic, plastic foil, and food con-
taining sugar. Use a special glass
ceramic scraper. Put the scraper
on the glass ceramic surface at an
acute angle and slide the blade
on the surface.
– Stop the appliance and let it
cool down before you clean: lime-
scale rings, water rings, fat stains,
shiny metallic discolorations. Use a
special cleaner for glass ceramic
or stainless steel.
2. Clean the appliance with a damp
cloth and some detergent.
3. At the end rub the appliance dry
with a clean cloth.
6.1 Cleaning the ignition
candle
This model has a ceramic ignition candle
and a metal electrode. Keep these com-
ponents well clean to prevent difficult
lighting and check that the burner crown
holes are not blocked.
6.2 Periodic maintenance
Periodically speak your local Service
Force Centre to check the conditions of
the gas supply pipe and the pressure ad-
juster, if fitted.
WARNING!
Glass bar
• Do not use the scraper or sharp ob-
jects to clean the glass bar and the
space between it and glass ceramic.
Glass bar is attached to the ceramic
plate.
• Do not put the pots on the glass bar.
• Make sure that the pans and pots do
not touch the glass bar.
