5.3 Maintenance
Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents over-cooked food being able to
become ingrained and cause stubborn stains that are diffi cult to remove.
5.3.1 Daily
Use a mild cleaning agent to clean the hob. Do not use too much water as this can
penetrate into the ventilation openings.
5.3.2 Stubborn stains on enamel
•
Remove with a non-abrasive cream or a soft sponge.
•
Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleansing
agents.
