After each use of the glass-ceramic hob, wait for it to cool down and clean it; otherwise, even
the smallest food residue will be burnt onto the hot surface next time you use the appliance.
For regular cleaning and maintenance of the glass-ceramic surface, use special conditioning
agents which form a protective layer on the surface, shielding it from dirt. Before each use,

Careful:
steel wool, abrasive sponges, and abrasive detergents can scratch the hob surface.
Glass ceramic surface can also be damaged by aggressive sprays and inappropriate or

Signs and indications on the hob may be worn if aggressive cleaning aids are used on cooking

Water stains can be removed using a mild solution of vinegar; however, do not use this

glass-ceramic hob when the cooking zones heat up (Figure 3).
Stubborn and burnt residues can be removed using a scraper. make sure the plastic part of the
scraper does not come into contact with a hot cooking zone. Be careful not to cut yourself
