10 Cleaning
The cleaning of the Ceran plate and the ceramic bowl is identical to that of other similar
surfaces like glass. Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, such as grill and oven
sprays, stain and rust removers, scouring powder or rough sponges.
Before being cleaned, the Ceran plate must be cooled down.
Other maintenance and servicing work other than cleaning as described here, must be done by
authorized service personnel.
The following is a list of common types of soil and recommendations how to treat them:
Type of soiling
Treatment
Slight soiling, no burned residues Wipe with a moist cloth (scotch), without cleaning
agent
Sticky soiling
Remove with a scraper (razor blade). Then wipe the
heating area with a moist cloth
Lime deposits, caused by water
which has boiled over
These spots can be removed with vinegar or a
special cleaning agent
Food containing sugar, plastic,
aluminum foil
Immediately scrape off the sugar, plastic or aluminum
foil residues thoroughly from the hot cooking area,
e.g. with a razor blade.
After removal of the residues, clean it with a cleaning
agent.
If the heating area soiled with residues of sugar,
plastic or aluminum foil cools down without prior
cleaning, the ceramic surface might become
deformed by pinhead-sized pits
Make sure that no liquid can enter in the induction unit.
