Important!
Everyday soiling
on glass
(fingerprints,
marks, stains left
by food or
non-sugary
spillovers on the
glass)
1. Switch the power to the hob off.
2. Apply a ceramic hob cleaner while the
glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the hob back on.
• When the power to the hob 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 your
cleaner or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the hob, as the
glass may become stained.
Boilovers, melts,
and
hot sugary spills
on the glass
Remove these immediately with a fish slice,
palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable
for ceramic glass hobs, but beware of hot
cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the hob off at the
wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle
and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool
area of the hob.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish
cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday soiling
on glass’ above.
• Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or
spillovers 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 sore safely and out of
reach of children.
Spillovers on the
touch controls
1. Switch the power to the hob off.
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.
5. Switch the power back on.
• The hob may beep and turn itself off, and the
touch controls may not function while there is
liquid on them. Make sure you wipe the touch
control area dry before turning the hob back on.
