Caution! Before any cleaning or maintenance, make sure the
cooking zones are switched off and the heat indicator has
turned off.
4.1 Maintaining the hob
4.1.1 Cleaning
The hob must be cleaned after each use.
Important: Do not use abrasive sponges or pads, they may ruin the
glass. Do not use irritant chemical detergents such as oven sprays or
stain removers. After each use, let the hob cool down completely to
remove encrusted on dirt and stains. Use a soft cloth, paper towel or
specific products to clean the hob (follow the Manufacturer's
instructions).
DO NOT USE STEAM JET CLEANERS!!!
Important: In the event of the accidental spillage of large quantities
of liquid from pans it is possible to drain by using the discharge
valve, on the lower section of the product, in order to remove
any residues and ensuring maximum hygiene levels are
maintained. Fig. 1a
For a more thorough and in-depth clean the lower tank can be
removed completely. Fig. 1b

4.2.2 Grease filter
Fig. 2
Traps cooking grease particles.
The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non
aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which
must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed
in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this does
not affect its filtering capacity.
4.2.3 Odour filter
(For filter version only) Fig. 3a-b-c
It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
The product comes with a set of odour filters. The saturation of the
odour filters can occur after somewhat prolonged use depending on
the type of cooking and how regularly the grease filter is cleaned.
The odour filters can be thermally regenerated every 2/3 months in
an oven pre-heated to 200°C for 45 minutes. The correct
regeneration of the filter ensures that it can constantly filter
efficiently for 5 years.
