electricity supply.
Cleaning the Ceramic Hob
Before cleaning, make sure the hob is cool.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven
sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or
sponges with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agents such as Hob Brite and ceramic
hob scrapers are available from your local Service Force
Centre.
Cleaning after each use
Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp
cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a scraper.
Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth,
and Hob Brite.
If a chemical cleaner proves inadequate Check whether the use of a scraper is more effective.
l
when darks stains occur If the use of a scraper and a ceramic hob cleaner proves
unsuccessful, your hob surface may have been damaged by
using unsuitable cleaning agents, or by pan bases with a
scouring effect. This will not impair the efficiency of your
ceramic hob.
l
when metallic discolourations appear on Pots and pans with unsuitable bottoms, or unsuitable cleaning
the cooking zone agents have been used. The discolourations can only be
removed with considerable effort, using a ceramic glass
cleaner.
l
when the surface shows scratches These may be caused by scraping or melted on objects and
cannot be removed. This will not impair the efficiency of your
ceramic hob
Stain removal
Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be removed
from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob cleaning agent
such as Hob Brite when cool.
Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content
must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this type
of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause
irreparable damage to the ceramic surface. When the
surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth and Hob
Brite.
Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the
ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the
manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.
Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones.
Ensure any residues are wiped off before the cooking
zones are used again.
