MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
• Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads as they may damage
the glass.
• After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits
and stains from food residue.
• Sugar or foods with a high sugar content can damage the hob and
must be immediately removed.
• Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.
• Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a specic hob cleaner
(follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).
• Spills of liquid in the cooking zones can cause the pots to move or
vibrate.
• After cleaning the hob, dry thoroughly.
If the iXelium™ logo appears on the glass, the hob has been treated
with iXelium™ technology, an exclusive Whirlpool finish which ensures
perfect cleaning results, as well as keeping the surface of the hob shiny
for longer.
To clean iXelium™ hobs, follow these recommendations:
• Use a soft cloth (microbre is best) dampened with water or with
everyday glass cleaning detergent.
• For best results, leave a wet cloth on the glass hob surface for a few
minutes.
