special sponge for glass ceramic.

26.4 Cleaning the hob surround

If the hob frame is dirty or stained after use, clean this.

Note: 

Do not use a glass scraper.

Clean the hob frame with hot soapy water and a soft

cloth.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Dry with a soft cloth.

26.5 Changing the odour filter or acoustics

filter

from specialist retailers, customer service or in the on-

line shop.

To keep them in good working order, only use

genuine replacement filters.
