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.
To clean the cooktop, you need a special glass ceramic
scraper and suitable cleaning agents.

Never use steam cleaners, abrasive sponges, scouring
pads or chemically aggressive cleaning agents (e.g.
oven cleaner spray).
X

Make sure that the cleaning agent does not contain
any sand, soda, acids, lyes or chloride.

Wait until all cooking zones are cold.
X

Remove all coarse dirt and food residues from the
cooktop using a glass ceramic scraper.

cloth.

Dry the cooktop with a clean cloth.
If the cooktop is hot:
X
X
Remove stubborn residues of plastic, aluminium foil,
sugar or sweet dishes from the hot cooking zone
immediately using a glass ceramic scraper to prevent
burning.
Heavy soiling
X
X
Remove heavy soiling and marks (limescale marks,
mother-of-pearl-like shiny marks) using cleaning
products while the cooktop is still warm.
X
X
Wipe off food that boils over with a damp cloth.
X
X
Remove any remaining dirt with the glass ceramic
scraper.
X
X
Always remove any seeds, crumbs or similar that fall onto
the cooktop during cooking immediately to prevent the
surface getting scratched.
Any changes in colour or glossy spots are not damage to
the cooktops. They do not affect the functionality of the
cooktop or the stability of the glass ceramic panel.
Changes in the colour of the cooktop are the result of
residues which have not been removed and have burnt
on.
Glossy spots are the result of wear by the pan base,
especially if aluminium-based cookware or unsuitable
cleaning agents are used. These are difficult to remove.
