4. Cleaning and care
• Switch the hob OFF and let it cool down
before you clean it.
• Never clean the glass hob with a steam
cleaner nor similar appliance!
• When cleaning make sure that you only wipe
lightly over the ON/OFF key. The hob may
otherwise be accidentally switched ON!
Specific soiling
Heavy soiling and stains (lime
scaling and shiny, mother-of-
pearl-type stains) can best
be removed when the hob is
still slightly warm. Use glass
ceramic cleaning agents to clean the hob.
Proceed as outlined under weekly cleaning.
First soak
food which has boiled over
with a
wet cloth and then remove remaining soiling
with a special glass scraper for glass hobs.
Then clean the hob again as described under
weekly cleaning.
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 weekly cleaning.
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 to the colour
of the ceramic surface
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 into the
surface.
Shining areas
are caused by wear from
pan bottoms or unsuitable cleaning agents,
especially when using cookware with
aluminium bases or by unsuitable cleaning
agents. 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 bases.
Glass hob
Important!
Never use aggressive cleaning agents such
as rough scouring agent, abrasive saucepan
cleaners, rust and stain removers etc.
Cleaning after use
1.
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 cleaning
2.
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 the dirt will remain on the
film and can then easily be removed. 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.
