Regular cleaning will prevent any salts or minerals from accumulating on the hob and discolouring
the glass.
It is recommended to use a specialist ceramic cleaner to restore the surface, but use sparingly to
avoid coating the hob top too thickly. Too much cream cleaner will lead to discolouration. Use a dry,
clean cloth to polish the surface.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Everyday
soiling on glass
(fingerprints,
marks, stains left
by food or non-
sugary spills on
the glass)
1. Switch the main power supply off to
the appliance.
2. Apply a cooker top cleaner (suitable
for ceramic hobs) while the glass is still
warm (but not hot!)
• When the power to the cooktop is
switched off, there will be no ‘hot surface’
indication but the cooking zone may still
be hot! Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh /abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the glass. Always
read the label to check if you’re cleaner or
scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the
appliance; the glass may become stained.
What How
Important
Boil overs, melts,
and hot sugary
spills on the
glass
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth
or paper towel.
Remove these immediately with a
ceramic hob scraper suitable for
ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of
hot cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch the main power supply off to
the appliance.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30°
angle and scrape the soiling or spill to
a cool area of the cooktop, taking care
not to scratch the glass.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a
dish cloth or paper towel.
• Remove stains left by melts and sugary
food or spills as soon as possible. If left to
cool on the glass, they may be difficult to
remove or even permanently damage the
glass surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety cover is
retracted, the blade in a scraper is
razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and
always store safely and out of reach of
children.
12
Spills on the
touch controls

to the appliance.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area with a
clean damp sponge or cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with
a paper towel.

function while there is liquid on them.
• Make sure you wipe the touch control
area dry before turning the appliance
back on.
