7.1 Cleaning agents
INFO
Due to the use of aggressive cleaning agents
and abrasion caused by the pot bases the
surface will become damaged and dark stains
will occur.
INFO
Do not use the glass ceramic scraper in the
curved cooking zone of the wok cooktop.
You need a special glass ceramic scraper and suitable
cleaning agents to clean the cooktop.
X
X
Never use steam cleaners, abrasive sponges, scouring
pads, or chemically aggressive cleaning agents
(e.g. baking oven spray).
X
X
Make sure that the cleaning agent does not contain
any sand, soda, acids or chloride.
7.2 Maintaining the cooktop
X
X
Do not use the cooktop as a worktop or shelf.
X
X
Do not push or pull cookware across the cooktop.
X
X
Always lift pots and pans.
X
X
Keep the cooktop clean.
X
X
Remove any kind of soiling immediately.
X
X
Only use cookware which is suitable for glass ceramic
cooktops (see the Device description chapter).
7.3 Cleaning the cooktop
INFO
When the cooktop extractor is switched on, the
stainless steel grease filter must be installed
to ensure that no small and light objects, such
as cleaning wipes made of fabrics or paper are
sucked in (see operating instructions for the
cooktop).
X
X
Make sure that the cooktop is switched off (see the
Operating chapter).
X
X
Wait until all cooking zones are cold.
X
X
Remove all coarse soiling and food residues from the
cooktop with a glass ceramic scraper.
X
X
Apply the cleaning agent onto the cold cooktop.
X
X
Rub the cleaning agent with a paper towel or a clean
cloth.
X
X
Wipe off the cooktop while wet.
X
X
Rub the cooktop dry with a clean cloth.
When the cooktop is hot:
X
X
Immediately remove molten residues of plastic,
aluminium film, sugar or foods containing sugar with
a glass ceramic scraper from the hot cooking zone to
prevent burning them in.
Heavy soiling
X
X
Remove heavy soiling and stains (limescale stains,
pearly shimmering stains) with cleaning agents while
the cooktop is still warm.
X
X
Soften dried dirt residues using a damp cloth.
X
X
Remove dirt residues with the glass ceramic scraper.
X
X
Always remove grains, crumbs or similar which fall
onto the cooktop during general cooking work right
away to prevent the surface from being scratched.
Coloured changes and shiny surfaces are not cooktop
damage. They do not impact on the function of the
cooktop and the stability of the glass ceramic.
Discolourations to the cooktop arise from residues which
are not removed and have been burnt in.
Glossy spots are caused by the abrasion of the pot base,
especially when using cooking utensils with aluminium
bases, or by unsuitable cleaning agents. They are very
hard to remove.
7.3.1 Cleaning the control knobs
X
X
Ensure that the cooktop is switched off
(see the Operating chapter).
X
X
Clean only the control knob by hand.
X
X
Pull off the control knob.
X
X
Clean the control knob with a soft brush.
X
X
Rinse the control knob well after cleaning.
X
X
Allow the control knob to dry thoroughly.
X
X
Re-insert the clean and dry control knob into the slot
after the cleaning is completed.
