Care and maintenance
5.1
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.
To avoid risk of burns, allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
Avoid cleaning the surface of the glass ceramic hob with abrasive
cleaning agents, scouring pads, wire wool, etc. which can damage the
surface.
