Maintenance And Care - Indesit MK 64 R Instrucciones Para La Instalación Y Uso

Advice on using your appliance
To get the best from your hob, it is vital that you follow a
few fundamental rules during cooking and when prepar-
ing food.
•
Use pans with a flat bottom so they adhere fully to the
heating zone.
•
Always use pans whose diameter covers the cooking
zone fully so that all the available heat can be used.
•
Make sure the pan base is always clean and dry, to
guarantee good contact and long life for the cooking
zones and pans alike.
•
Avoid using pans used normally on gas burners. The
concentration of heat on gas burners can warp the
bottom of the pan, consequently you would never obtain
the desired result when using the pan on the glass
ceramic hob.
•
Never leave a cooking zone on without a pan on it as
the maximum heat level would be reached very quickly,
which could damage the heating elements.
•
The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and
mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a
shock caused by a sharp object. In this case, unplug
the appliance immediately and contact an authorised
after-sales service centre to have it repaired.
Always keep your hob clean. Before proceeding with main-
tenance operations, check that all the cooking zones are
turned off and have cooled down completely.
Stainless steel frame (only on some models)
Stainless steel can stain as an effect of enduring contact
with limescale in water or as an effect of highly aggres-
sive detergents (containing phosphorus). We recommend
you rinse and dry it thoroughly after maintenance. It is
preferable to remove any water spills immediately.

Maintenance and care

Hob care
The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is
smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal
shocks and to mechanical shocks under normal condi-
tions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we
recommend you care for your hob as follows:
•
sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels.
•
suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thor-
oughly.
•
cial scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait
for the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations.
For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool
pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy
water.
•
product for the care and protection of the same: this
type of product leaves an invisible film on the surface
of the hob to protect the same against any spills and
boiled-over food. It is best if you do this when the hob
is lukewarm or cold.
•
ter and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning prod-
ucts could become encrusted onto the hob during sub-
sequent cooking.
Recommendations
•
such as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain
removers or rust removers, scouring powders and abra-
sive sponges: even the delicate ones could scratch the
hob surface irreversibly.
•
away from the hob, such as plastic utensils, sugar
or products with a high sugar content. Should liq-
uid boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immedi-
ately (while the hob is still hot) using a razor blade
scraper, in order to avoid damaging the surface.
•
place items on the hob when the same is not in use.
Do not use the hob as a work surface (by placing lids,
saucepans or dishcloths on it, for example), nor as a
chopping board.
•
plastic cookware on the hob when hot or still warm.
•
