12. Care and Cleaning
The following settings should only be considered as guidelines. The
exact procedure depends on several factors, including your cookwa-
re and the amount you want to cook. Experiment a little with the hob
to find the right settings for you.
What?
How?
Important!
Everyday soiling on
glass (fingerprints,
marks, stains left by
food or non-sugary
spillovers on the
glass)
1. Switch the power to the
cooktop off.
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner
while the glass is still warm
(but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth or paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the
cooktop back on.
• When the power to the cook-
top is switched off, there will be
no ‘hot surface’ indication but
the cooking zone may still be
hot! Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some
nylon scourers and harsh/
abrasive cleaning agents may
scratch the glass. Always read
the label to check if your clea-
ner or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue
on the cooktop: the glass may
become stained.
Boilovers, melts,
and hot sugary spills on
the glass
Remove these immediately
with a fish slice, palette knife or
razor blade scraper suitable for
ceramic glass cooktops, but
beware of hot cooking zone
surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the
cooktop off at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a
30° angle and scrape the
soiling or spill to a cool area
of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up
with a dish cloth or paper
towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for
‘Everyday soiling on glass’
above.
• Remove stains left by melts
and sugary food or spillovers
as soon as possible. If left to
cool on the glass, they may
be difficult to remove or even
permanently damage the glass
surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety
cover is retracted, the blade in
a scraper is razor-sharp. Use
with extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of
children.
