Cleaning and Care
Hob
Important:
Cleaning agents must not
come into contact with a heated ceramic
glass surface: All cleaning agents must be
removed with adequate amounts of clean
water after cleaning because they can
have a caustic effect when the surface
becomes hot. Do not use any aggressive
cleaners such as grill or oven sprays,
scouring pads or abrasive pan cleaners.
Clean the ceramic glass surface after
each use when it is still warm to the
touch. This will prevent spillage from
becoming burnt onto the surface. Remove
scales, watermarks, fat drippings and
metallic discolouration with the use of a
commercially available ceramic glass or
stainless steel cleaner.
Light Soiling
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a
damp cloth.
2. Rub dry with a clean cloth. Remnants
of cleaning agent must not be left on the
surface.
3. Thoroughly clean the entire ceramic
glass cooking surface once a week with a
commercially available ceramic glass or
stainless steel cleaner.
4. Wipe the ceramic glass surface using
adequate amounts of clean water and rub
dry with a clean lint - free cloth.
Problem Dirt
1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic,
aluminium foil or other materials with a
glass scraper immediately and while still
hot.
Important: There is a risk of burning
yourself when the glass scraper is used
on a hot cooking zone:
2. Clean the hob as normal when it has
cooled down.
If the cooking zone on which something
has melted has been allowed to cool,
warm it up again for cleaning.
Scratches or dark blemishes on the
ceramic glass surface, caused, for
example, by a pan with sharp edges,
cannot be removed. However, they do not
impair the function of the hob.
Hob Frame
Important: Do not use vinegar, lemon
juice or scale remover on the hob frame;
otherwise dull blemishes will appear.
1. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth.
2. Moisten dried debris with a wet cloth.
Wipe and rub dry.
