Cleaning and care
Glass ceramic hob
■
Do not use any abrasive agents and
sponges or sharp cleaning agents!
Chemical oven cleaners, bleaching
agents, rust and spot removers can have
a corrosive effect and damage the surface
of your hob.
■
Before cleaning always wait until the hob
has cooled down sufficiently. Exception:
sugar and melted plastic (see below).
■
Do not use any cleaning cloths or
sponges that are used for other purposes.
This can discolour the surface, but the
discoloration will not become visible the
next time you use the appliance.
■
Usually it is sufficient to clean the
appliance with a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid each time you use it.
Wipe dry afterwards.
Always completely remove any remains of
cleaning agent with a damp cloth; they
could have an corrosive effect.
■
Avoid dirt burning and becoming
encrusted.
■
Encrusted dirt and food which has boiled
over should be removed with a glass
scraper. Remove sugar and melted plastic
immediately while the cooking surface is
still hot.
■
Heavy dirt and spots which glitter like
mother of pearl can be removed with a
cleaning agent for stainless steel.
■
To protect and care for the glass ceramic hob we recommend special
products to care for glass ceramic hobs such as Ceraclen or Vitroclen. They
protect the hob by covering it with a thin protective film which wards off
water and dirt.
Stainless steel
■
Panelling and panels made of “rust-proof” stainless steel are cleaned with
warm water (optionally with the addition of some hand detergent. After
cleaning rub dry.
■
The stainless steel surface must not be scratched. Therefore do not use any
scouring agents or sponges (especially steel wool) for cleaning.
■
Cleaning agents containing acid or chlorine must not be used.
■
Allow surfaces to cool before cleaning.
■
The surface must not come into contact with any rusty parts. Avoid damage
to the surface with pots, tools etc. which are not made of rust-proof
material.
