Ceramic glass hob
should be cleaned only when completely
cooled down, preferably after each use, otherwise even the
slightest stains remaining after cooking may burn into the hob
surface with each following use.
For regular maintenance of ceramic-glass hob use special
cleansing agents,
produced in such way to create protective
film upon the surface.
Before each use,
wipe the dust and other particles from the
hob - they may scratch the surface (Fig. 1).
Caution:
use of steel wool, abrasive cleaning sponges, and
abrasive detergents can scratch the surface of the hob. The
surface may also be damaged by the use of aggressive sprays
and inappropriate liquid chemicals (Fig.1 and 2).
Pattern marks
can be erased by the use of aggressive
cleansing agents or rough and damaged cookware bottoms
(Fig. 2).
Minor stains
are removed with moist soft cloth; after that the
surface should be wiped dry (Fig. 3).
Water stains
are removed with gentle vinegar solution, but you
must not wipe the frame with it (certain models only), since it
may lose its glow. Never use any aggressive sprays or
limestone removers (Fig. 3).
Major stains
are removed with special ceramic-glass
cleansers. Follow strictly the manufacturer's instructions.
Be careful to remove any remains of cleansing agent from
the hob surface, otherwise they will be heated during the
next use and can damage the hob
(fig. 3).
Stubborn and burnt stains
are removed with special ceramic-
glass scraper. Be careful, however, not to touch the hotplate
surface with the scraper handle (Fig. 4).
Handle the scraper with utmost care to avoid injuries!
Sugar and sugar containing
food may permanently damage
the ceramic-glass hob surface (Fig.5), so the remains of sugar
and sugar containing food must be scraped off from the hob
surface immediately, when the hotplates are still hot (Fig. 4).
Discoloring of ceramic-glass hob
has no effect whatsoever
on its operation and stability. In most cases, it appears as the
consequence of burnt in food remains, or as a result of
dragging pots and pans (especially aluminum or copper bottom
cookware) across the surface, and such discoloring is rather
hard to remove.
Note:
All described faults are mostly esthetical
and do not affect directly the operation of the appliance.
Remedy of such faults is not covered by warranty.
Oven
The oven may be cleaned in a traditional mode (using oven
cleaners and sprays). The following procedure is
recommended for regular cleaning of the oven (after each use):
Turn the mode selection button to the position
. Set the
temperature control button of the cold oven to 50°C. Pour 0,4 l
of water into the baking pan and insert it into the bottom grid
lead. After thirty minutes the food residues upon the enamel
coating are softened, and may be easily wiped off with a moist
cloth.
Otherwise respect the following cleaning tips:
•
Cool the oven completely before cleaning.
•
The oven and the accessories must be cleaned after each use,
otherwise stains might get burned in.
•
Oven walls, sprayed with oil from roasting, is best cleaned with
warm water and detergent when the oven is still tepid.
•
Hard and heavily stained oven should be cleaned with special
oven cleaning agents. Rinse the cleaner thoroughly and remove
any detergent remaining before the next use.
•
Never use aggressive cleaners, like polishing agents, dish
cleaning accessories, corrosion inhibitors, or any other devices
that might cause scratches.
•
Coated, stainless steel or zinc-coated surfaces or aluminum
parts must not come into contact with oven sprays, since they
might cause damage or discoloration. The same goes for
thermostat probe (if the cooker is equipped with it) and exposed
heaters on the oven ceiling.
•
When purchasing cleaning agents remember the
environment, and strictly follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Removing wire and telescopic guide grids
Telescopic guide grids or wire guides may be removed to
facilitate the cleaning of the oven. Side grids are removed by
swinging the bottom side inwards and unhooking them from
their place. Clean the side grids and telescopic guides only
with conventional detergents. Telescopic guides may not be
washed in a dishwasher.
Note
! Never lubricate the telescopic
guides! To reinsert, repeat the procedure backwards: slide
them into the holes and swing downwards.
