2.7 Cleaning
Always clean the hob after it has cooled down. Even the slightest amount of
dirt will burn into the surface the next time you switch it on.
Use only recommended cleaners.
Steel wool, cleaning sponges and abrasive powders scratch the surface. Do
not use oven sprays as these are aggressive and damage the surface.
Light amounts of dirt
Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts of dirt from the
surface. Rinse with cold water and then dry thoroughly.
Water spots
produced by water cooking over should be removed with
vinegar and/or a lemon or lime calcium-dissolving agent. If these agents
come into contact with the frame, wipe them off with a wet cloth, otherwise
the frame loses its gloss.
Heavy dirt
Use “Sidol Special for Stainless Steel”, “Stahlfix” or “Cerafix” to remove
heavy dirt. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to take
effect, then wipe off completely with cold water and dry the surface
thoroughly. Cleaning residues on the surface can become aggressive when
the hob is reheated.
Persistent dirt and caking
can best be removed with a glass scraper
Å
. A
glass scraper can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY
shops or from our Customer service. Pay attention to handle on purchasing.
If you buy a glass scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic
as this will stick to the hot surface. Take care when using the scraper! Risk
of injury!
Food that contains sugar
may permanently damage the glass ceramic
surface because they can produce scratches after they have become dry.
In order to prevent such surface damage, such substances must be
immediately removed with the glass scraper while they are still hot
Ç
,
É
.
Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface
These have no effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic.
These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues
which were not removed and which have burnt in.
Metallic iridescent discolouring
Ö
is caused by wear from pan bottoms
or unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can be removed with great
difficulty with “Sidol Special for Stainless Steel” or “Stahlfix”. You may have
to clean several times to remove the discolouring.
Our Customer service will remove such stains for an additional charge.
Worn decoration
Ü
.
In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains
will appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan
bottoms.
