Cleaning and Maintenance
What?
How?
Important!
Everyday soiling on
glass
(fingerprints, marks,
stains left by food or
non-sugary spillovers
on the glass)
1. Switch the power to the ceramic
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.
•
When the power to the ceramic 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
ceramic hob: 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 ceramic hob,
but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the ceramic
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 ceramic hob.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a
dish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 3 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 store safely and out of reach of
children.
Spillovers on the power
regulating controls
1. Switch the power to the ceramic
hob.
2. Soak up the spill.
3. Wipe the power regulating control
area with a clean damp sponge or
cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with a
paper towel.
•
Make sure you wipe the power
regulating control area dry before
turning the ceramic hob back on.
