3 / MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE
Preserve your appliance
The vitroceramic glass surface is highly
resistant, but not unbreakable. Here are some
recommendations for increasing its lifetime:
- Avoid banging or clattering the cookware.
- Avoid putting heating covers on the hob. A
suction effect may damage the vitroceramic
surface.
- Do not use cookware with bottoms that are
rough or dented.
- Do not use your cooking hob as a work sur-
face.
- Never use aluminium foil or paper or alu-
minium scrubber to clean it. The aluminium
melts and damages the top.
- Never use a steam cleaner to clean your
hob.
Maintaining your appliance
- Never directly reheat a tin can. It will have a
risk of exploding.
Aesthetic faults, as a result of mistreatment of
your hob and which do not entail a lack of
function, are not covered by our guarantee.
And for the safety of your kitchen, do not
place cleaning items or inflammable objects
or products in the kitchen furniture under-
neath your cooking hob.
