Cleaning and care

The information in this section provides help on how 
best to care for your hob.

Suitable maintenance and cleaning products can be 
purchased from the after-sales service or in our e-
Shop.

Ceramic

Clean the hob after each use. This will prevent spills 
from burning onto the ceramic.

Only clean the hob when it has cooled down 
sufficiently.

Use only cleaning agents which are suitable for 
ceramic. Follow the cleaning instructions on the 
packaging.

Never use:

Undiluted washing-up liquid

Detergent intended for dishwashers

Scouring agents 

Harsh cleaning agents such as oven spray or 
stain remover

Abrasive sponges 

High-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners

Ground-in dirt can be best removed with a glass 
scraper, available from retailers. Please note the 
manufacturer's instructions.

You can also obtain a suitable glass scraper from our 
after-sales service or from the e-Shop.

Hob surround

To prevent damage to the hob surround, observe the 
following instructions:

Use only hot soapy water.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Do not use any sharp or abrasive agents.

Do not use the glass scraper.

Magnetic knob

Only wipe the magnetic knob with lukewarm soapy 
water. Do not use harsh or abrasive agents. The 
magnetic knob will be damaged if it is cleaned in the 
dishwasher or immersed in soapy water.
