When the "Fast heater" is on, the zone supplies 1800 W power for
2.5 minutes, and adjusts to 576 W after this time.
* For increased safety, the cooking zones cut off automatically if
they are left on too long. The cut off depends on the heat level
used.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
. Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it
to cool down.
. Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces should be used. They are obtainable
from hardware stores.
. Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface
will quickly burn and will make cleaning more difficult.
. It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which
are liable to melt, such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based
products.
MAINTENANCE:
- Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the
hob surface.
- Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp
kitchen paper.
- Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is
clean.
If there are still some stubborn stains:
- Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning fluid on the
surface.
- Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of 30° to the hob,
until the stains disappear.
- Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is
clean.
- Repeat the operation if necessary.
A FEW HINTS:
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to
prevent scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean
before using the hob again. To remove marks left by water, use a
few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then wipe with
absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid.
The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat-
bottomed cooking vessels, however, it is always better to lift them
when moving them from one zone to another.
NB:
Do not use a sponge which is too wet.
Never use a knife or a screwdriver.
A scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface,
as long as it is kept at an angle of 30°.
Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach
of children.
Never use abrasive products or scouring powders.
. The metal surround : to safely clean the metal surround wash
with soap and water, rinse, then dry with a soft cloth.
