GB 18
Cleaning
Tip
Set the (child) lock before you start cleaning the hob.
Daily cleaning
•
Best for daily cleaning is a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent.
• Dry with kitchen paper or a dry teacloth.
• Special cleaning agents for ceramic hobs have the advantage that
a thin layer remains on the glass surface so that over-cooked food
and lime scale are less likely to get burnt into the hob, making it
easier to clean the next time.
• It is best to let the hob cool down before cleaning it.
• Over-cooked food containing a lot of sugar and acids, such as
apple sauce, rhubarb or red cabbage are best removed immediately
with a damp dish cloth to prevent them getting burnt into the hob.
Be careful with the hot cooking zone!
Stubborn stains
•
Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent
such as washing-up liquid.
• Remove water marks and lime scale with vinegar.
•
Metal marks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove.
Special agents are available.
•
Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar
is also best removed with a glass scraper.
Never use
•
Never use abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and lime
scale can accumulate.
•
Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.
