CLEANING AND CARE

Before cleaning, switch off the hob and let it cool down.

Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners to clean the cooking hob, as this may result in an
electric shock
.

When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the on/off sensor . The hob may otherwise be
accidentally switched on!
Glass ceramic hob
Important!
Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough scouring agents, abrasive saucepan
cleaners, rust and stain removers etc.
Cleaning after use
Always clean the entire hob when it has become soiled. It is recommended that you do so every time the
hob is used. Use a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid for cleaning. Then dry the hob with a clean
dry cloth to ensure that there is no detergent left on the surface of the hob.
Weekly clean
Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with commercial glass ceramic cleaning agents.
Please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
When applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in a protective film which is resistant to water and dirt.
All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Then rub the hob dry with a clean cloth. Make
sure that no cleaning agent remains on the surface of the hob since this will react aggressively when the
hob is heated up and will change the surface.
Specific soiling
Heavy soiling
and stains (limescaling and shiny, mother-ofpearl- type stains) can best be removed when
the hob is still slightly warm. Use commercial cleaning agents to clean the hob.
Proceed as outlined under Item 2.
First soak food which has boiled over with a wet cloth and then remove remaining soiling with a
special glass scraper for glass ceramic hobs. Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2.
Burnt sugar and melted plastic must be removed immediately, when they are still hot, with a glass
scraper. Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2.
Grains of sand which may get onto the hob when you peel potatoes or clean lettuce may scratch the
surface of the hob when you move pots around. Make sure that no grains of sand are left on the hob.
Changes in the colour of the hob will not affect the function and the stability of the glass ceramic
material. These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were not
removed and which have burnt into the surface.
Shiny spots result when the base of the cookware rubs on the surface of the hob, particularly when
cookware with an aluminium base or unsuitable cleaning agents are used. They are difficult to remove
with standard cleaning agents. You may need to repeat the cleaning process several times. In time, the
decoration will wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and
faulty pan bottoms.
