User manual SMEG SE62CX

[. . . ] For the user 2. 1 Important Attention: The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during use. Always ensure that no hard objects are dropped onto the cooking surface. Under certain circumstances the material is sensitive to mechanical stresses and strains. A heavy knock or blow in a small area can cause the ceramic hob to break.

Cleaning and maintenance Always clean the glass surface after it has cooled down. Even the slightest amount of dirt will burn into the surface the next time you switch it on. Steel wool, sponges and powdered cleaning agents must not be used since they may scratch the surface. Do not use oven sprays as these are aggressive and damage the surface. Light amounts of dirt Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts of dirt from the surface. Rinse off leftover cleaning agent with cold water and then dry the surface thoroughly. Use vinegar, lemon juice or a calcium dissolving agent to remove water stains from the surface. If these agents come into contact with the frame, wipe them off with a wet cloth, otherwise the frame loses its gloss. Heavy dirt Use "SMEG Special cleaner for Stainless Steel" or "Cerafix" to remove heavy dirt. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to take effect, then wipe off completely with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly. Cleaning residues on the surface can become aggressive when the hob is reheated. Persistent dirt and caking can best be removed with a glass scraper +. A glass scraper can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY shops or from our Customer service. If you buy a glass scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic as this will stick to the hot surface. In order to avoid damaging the surface of the hob, aluminium or plastic foil, sugar and sugary foods that have melted on the glass ceramic surface should be removed immediately from the hot cooking zone with a glass scraper. Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface These have no effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic. These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were not removed and which have burnt in. is caused by wear from pan bottoms or Metallic iridescent discolouring unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can be removed with great difficulty with "SMEG Special cleaner for Stainless Steel". You may have to clean several times to remove the discolouring. In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bottoms. [. . . ] When connecting the electrical appliance, install an all-pole disconnecting device with a contact gap of at least 3 mm. Make the plug connection between the cooking zones and switches. The protective conductor (green/yellow strand) is attached to the protective conductor pins of the switching element. Insert the plug connections of the oven hob (of the respective cooking zone) into the plug connection sockets provided on the oven and/or switchbox. [. . . ]
