To reconnect the appliance, switch it off by pressing the on/off key ****(1) and then switch it on again.

Keep the control panel of the heating areas clean and dry at all times.
In case of operating problems or incidents not mentioned in this manual, disconnect the appliance and contact the TEKA technical service.

Recommendation for the good use of vitro-ceramic hobs

• Use pots or pans with thick, completely flat bottoms.
• Pans with a smaller diameter than the shown heating area are not recommended.
• Do not slide pots and pans over the glass as they may scratch it.
• Although the glass can withstand knocks from large pots and pans without sharp edges, try not to knock it.
• To prevent damage to the ceramic glass induction surface, try not to slide the pots and pans over the glass, and keep the bottoms of the vessels clean and in good condition.

**** Try not to spill sugar or products containing sugar on the glass while the surface is hot as these could damage it.

Cleaning and maintenance

To keep the appliance in good condition, clean it using suitable products and implements once it has cooled down. This will make the job easier and avoid the build-up of dirt
Never use harsh cleaning products or tools that could scratch the surface, or steam-operated equipment.

Light dirt not stuck to the surface can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a gentle detergent or warm soapy water. However, for deeper stains or grease use a special cleaner for ceramic hot plates and follow the instructions on the bottle. Dirt that is firmly stuck due to being burned repeatedly can be removed using a scraper with a blade.
Slight tinges of colour are caused by pots and pans with dry grease residue underneath or due to grease between the glass and the pot during cooking.
These can be removed using a nickel scourer with water or a special cleaner for ceramic hot plates. Plastic objects, sugar or food containing a lot of sugar that have melted onto the surface must be removed immediately using a scraper.

Metallic sheens are caused by dragging metal pots and pans over the glass. They can be removed b cleaning thoroughly using a special cleaner for ceramic glass hot plates, although you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times.

Warning:
Use the glass scraper carefully. The blade could cause injury!

**** If you use the scraper incorrectly, the blade could break and a fragment could get caught between the surrounding trim and the glass. If this happens, do not try to remove it using your hands, carefully use tweezers or a knife with a fine edge. (See fig. 3)

**** Only use the blade on the ceramic surface, avoiding the scraper casing coming into contact with the glass because this could scratch it.

**** Use blades in perfect condition. Immediately replace the blade if it is damaged in any way.

**** After you have finished with the scraper, withdraw the blade and lock it. (See fig. 4)

**** A pot or pan may become stuck to the glass due to a product having melted between them. Do not try to lift the pot while the hot plate is cold! This could cause the glass break.

**** Do not step on the glass or lean on it as it could break and cause injury. Do not use the glass as a surface for putting objects.
