PART 4: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, check that the appliance is turned o, the power cord is disconnected from the power
socket, or if appropriate the circuit breaker to which the appliance is connected is disengaged.
Clean the cooktop before every use. This will prevent food remains from baking on.
For cleaning use special cleaning agents for glass ceramic cooktops, which can be used even if the cooktop
is still warm. Rinse and wipe dry using a clean wiping cloth or paper towel.
You can use a special scraper for the removal of baked on food. Sticky food (e.g. sugar) must be removed
immediately after being spilled, before the surface cools down.
The scraper is equipped with a razor blade that is very sharp. Be careful when using the scraper. Keep out
of the reach of children.
To remove baked on food, moisten a soft sponge and remove the baked on food using the moistened soft
sponge.
Do not use abrasive sponges, steel wool, caustic cleaning agents, cleaning agents in sprays or any sharp items
to clean the surface of the cooktop.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean away food.

Requirements for the workbench
 The workbench must be straight and located horizontally. Perform the cut-outs into the
built-infurniture priorto installingthe appliance.Removeall splintersand woodshavingsotherwise
a malfunction of the electrical components could occur. At the same time ensure that after
performing the cut-out works, the stability of the furniture is not compromised.
 The surfaces of the cuts need to be treated so that they are resistant against temperature and moisture
(they could start swelling).
 Furniture intended for built-in appliances must be resistant to temperatures of up to 100°C.
 The minimum distance from the cut-out to the side wall must be: 40 mm. Do not locate the cooktop
between two side walls. If it is located in such a way, it is necessary to maintain a minimum distance of 200
mm from one of the side walls.
 The minimum thickness of the workbench into which the installation is made is:
 30 mm if the installation is above an oven;
 20 mm if the installation is without an oven or above a drawer.
 For the ventilation of the cooktop, provide an opening in the top part of the rear wall of the furniture with
a width of 45 mm and a 20mm gap between the rear wall of the furniture and the kitchen wall. If you
will be installing the cooktop above a drawer, it is necessary to maintain a minimum distance of 65 mm
between the drawer and the top part of the workbench.
Positioning the cooktop in the workbench
Take the appliance out of the packaging and remove all advertising and promotional materials to check that
the appliance is not damaged. If the appliance is damaged or the power cord is damaged, do not use the
appliance and contact an authorised service centre.
Cut-out dimensions: 280 x 490 mm. Cut out an opening with the corresponding dimensions.
Apply single sided tape around the bottom edge of the cooktop - see picture below. Do not stretch too much.
Insert the cooktop into the cut-out hole in the workbench.
To ensure cooling, before inserting the oven, it is necessary to remove the rear kitchen panel in the location
where the oven is opened. The front part of the kitchen part must have a hole no smaller than 5 mm.
