Cleaning and Maintenance
Carry out daily cleaning with a well
wrung-out cloth. For more stubborn
soiling, use a cloth or a soft plastic
sponge together with washing-up
liquid or all-purpose cleaner.
Never use metal cleaning pads,
metal wool, hard plastic sponges,
scouring powder, soft soap or other
abrasive or caustic cleaning agents.
For hygienic and safety rea-
sons the gas burners must be
kept clean. Grease splashes
and spilt food will give off
fumes when heated and in
the worst case can lead to a
fire.
Aluminium
Immediately scrape off spillages and
traces of sugar, sugar-rich food (jam,
fruit juice etc.), melted plastic and
aluminium foil from the hot surface.
If the hob is allowed to cool down,
damage may result.
1. Remove splashes etc. with
ceramic hob scraper.

2. Make sure the hob has cooled
down.
Use a cleaning agent designed
for ceramic hobs.
Follow the instructions on the
container.
3. Wipe the hob clean with a damp
cloth or kitchen paper. Stubborn
stains can be removed by rubbing
hard with the cleaning agent
sprinkled on a piece of kitchen
paper.
4. Wipe off excess cleaning agent
with a damp cloth.
5. If necessary, finish off with a dry
cloth.
Make sure the hob is dry before
heating up again. A damp hob may
display rainbow-like stripes when
heated up.
