Cleaning
Always clean the hob after use. This prevents food residues from burning on.
Dried-on or burned-on food residue is harder to clean off.
Use of improper cleaning techniques can result in damage to the markings
or surface.
➤
Use only a soft cloth or sponge with water and a suitable detergent for
cleaning everyday soiling. Always follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions for use. Using a detergent with a protective additive is
recommended.
➤
Remove stubborn soiling, e.g. boiled-over milk, while still warm using a
glass ceramic hob scraper.
Always follow the scraper manufacturer's instructions for use.
➤
Foods with a high sugar content, e.g. marmalade, that boil over should be
removed while still hot using a glass ceramic hob scraper. The surface of
the glass ceramic hob could otherwise become damaged.
➤
Remove melted plastic while still warm using a glass ceramic hob scraper.
The surface of the glass ceramic hob could otherwise become damaged.
➤
Remove limescale stains when cool with a small amount of limescale
remover (e.g. vinegar, lemon juice, descaler). Then wipe clean with a damp
cloth.
Clean the appliance when it has cooled down, as otherwise it could
be a burn hazard.
Avoid cleaning the surface of the glass ceramic hob with abrasive
cleaning agents, scouring pads, wire wool, etc. which can damage the
surface.
