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.
