CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Proper routine maintenance and cleaning of the appliance can signifi-
cantly extend its trouble-free operation.
When cleaning induction hobs, the same
principles apply as for glass surfaces. Do not
use under any circumstances any abrasive
or caustic cleaners or scouring powders
or pads! Do not use steam or pressure
cleaners.
Cleaning after each use
Wipe light stains with a damp cloth without detergent. The use of dish-
washing liquid may cause a bluish surface discolouration. These persis-
tent stains cannot always be removed right away, even using a special
cleaner.
Firmly adhering dirt can be carefully
removed with a scraper. Then wipe the
cooking surface with a damp cloth.
Removing stains
Bright stains of pearl colour (residual aluminium) can be removed from
the cool hob using a special cleaning agent. Limestone residue (eg. af-
ter evaporated water) can be removed by vinegar or a special cleaning
agent.
Do not turn off the cooking zone when removing sugar, food containing
sugar, plastic and aluminium foil. Immediately and thoroughly scrape the
leftovers off the hot cooking zone using a sharp scraper. Once the bulk of
the stain is removed the hob can be turned off and clean the cooled off
cooking zone with a special cleaning agent.
Special cleaners are available in supermarkets, electrical and home ap-
pliance shops, drug stores, as well as retail food shops and kitchen show-
rooms. Scrapers can be purchased in DIY and construction equipment
stores, as well as in shops carrying painting accessories.
