CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper routine maintenance and cleaning of the appliance can significantly extend its trou -
ble-free operation.
When cleaning induction hobs, the same principles apply as for glass surfaces. Do not use
under any circumstances any abrasive or caustic cleaners or scouring powders or pads!
Do not use steam or pressure cleaners
Never apply a detergent on the hot cooking zone. It is best to let the cleaner dry and then
wipe it wet. Any traces of the detergent should be wiped off clean with a damp cloth before
re-heating. Otherwise, it can be corrosive.
Warranty will be void if you do not follow the above guidelines!
Removing stains
Cleaning after each use
•
•Wipe light stains with a damp cloth without
detergent. The use of dishwashing liquid may
cause a bluish surface discolouration. These
persistent stains cannot always be removed
right away, even using a special cleaner.
•
•Firmly adhering dirt can be carefully removed
with a scraper. Then wipe the cooking surface
with a damp cloth.
•
• Bright stains of pearl colour (residual aluminium) can be removed from the cool hob
using a special cleaning agent. Limestone residue (eg. after evaporated water) can be
removed by vinegar or a special cleaning agent.
•
• Do not turn off the cooking zone when removing sugar, food containing sugar, plastic
and aluminium foil. Immediately and thoroughly scrape the leftovers off the hot cooking
zone using a sharp scraper. Once the bulk of the stain is removed the hob can be turned
off and clean the cooled off cooking zone with a special cleaning agent. Special cleaners
are available in supermarkets, electrical and home appliance shops, drug stores, as well
as retail food shops and kitchen showrooms. Scrapers can be purchased in DIY and
construction equipment stores, as well as in shops carrying painting accessories.
