TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

In the event of cooker hob malfunctions, we recommend verifying that the plug is properly inserted in the socket.
If the cause of the malfunction is identified, turn the appliance off, do not tamper with it and contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
The appliance comes with a warranty certificate enabling the user to benefit from the Technical Assistance Service.
The warranty certificate must be stored and duly filled in to be presented to the Technical Assistance Service whenever required,
together with a fiscally valid document issued by the dealer at the moment of purchase (delivery note, invoice, tax receipt, other)
and indicating the dealer's name, delivery date and product identification data.
The glass-ceramic surface must be cleaned after every use, as any remaining small
stains will burn on the hot surface.
For ordinary maintenance purposes, use special detergents that form a protective film
against dirt.
Before every use of the hob, wipe away any dust from the glass-ceramic surface and
clean any dirt on pot bases, as it may scratch the cooking zone (Fig. 1).
Warning: do not use steel wool sponges or abrasive detergents that may scratch the
surface. Aggressive sprays or unsuitable detergents may also damage the surface (Fig.
1 and Fig. 2).
The signs on the hob surface may fade due to the use of aggressive detergents, steel
wool sponges or dirty pot bases (Fig. 2). Remove the smaller stains with a damp sponge
then dry the pot thoroughly (Fig. 3).
Water stains can be eliminated using a vinegar solution which, however, should not be
used on the hob frame (of some models) as it may lose its lustre. Do not use aggressive
detergents or sprays to remove limescale (Fig. 3).
Stubborn dirt can be removed using detergents specially formulated for glass-ceramic
surfaces. Follow the suggestions of the detergent manufacturer.
Be careful not to leave any detergent residues on the surface, as these may damage the
glass-ceramic surface (Fig. 3).
Stubborn dirt or burnt dirt must be removed with the aid of a scraper. Make sure that the
plastic scraper handle does not come into contact with the hot cooker hob (Fig. 4).
Be careful not to harm yourself when using the scraper! Sugar or foodstuffs with high
sugar content may cause permanent damage to the glass-ceramic surface (Fig. 5): for
this reason, any sugar residues must be immediately removed from the glass-ceramic
surface (even if still hot) using a scraper (Fig. 4).
Any change in the colour of the glass-ceramic surface does not influence the operation or
stability of the surface itself. The colour change arises from the use of copper or
aluminium pots, or food residues on the pot base, and is very difficult to eliminate.
Warning: all the above-mentioned defects are of an aesthetical nature and do not directly
influence the appliance's operation. They cannot be solved by activating the warranty.
