Cleaning the hob
Clean and maintain the hob regularly with a
special care product containing a special im-
pregnating oil for glass ceramic hobs. Such
products can be found in specialist shops.
CAUTION
Risk of burns!
Improper handling may lead to burns.
■
Allow the cooking zones to cool com-
pletely before cleaning. Exception:
Removing sugary or starchy food resi-
dues, plastic or aluminium foil.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
Harsh cleaning agents, scouring pow-
ders, steel wool, oven sprays, high-pres-
sure or steam cleaners can damage the
surfaces. High-pressure cleaners can
cause a short circuit.
■
For cleaning purposes, do not use
any harsh cleaning agents or scour-
ing powders, steel wool, oven sprays,
steam cleaners or high-pressure
cleaners.
Sugary or starchy food particles, as well
as residues of plastics or aluminium foil
can cause permanent and irreparable
damage to the hob.
■
Immediately remove sugary or
starchy food particles and residues of
plastics or aluminium foil.
Slight soiling which is not burnt on
• After the appliance has cooled, use a
damp cloth with no cleaning agent to wipe
away dirt. Then dry the surface with a soft
cloth to prevent lime stains.
• Light-coloured stains with a pearly tint
(aluminium residues, e.g. from alumin-
ium foils) can be easily removed with a
cleaning agent specially designed for this
purpose and available from specialist
dealers.
• Vinegar is good for removing lime stains.
Hard, baked-on dirt
• Tough stains can be most easily removed
after cooling using a blade scraper. Clean-
ing agents designed especially for this
purpose can also be found in specialist
shops.
Finally, wipe the surface with a damp
cloth.
• Treat the hob with a special care product
after cleaning.
Sugary or starchy food residues,

cooking zone surface when it is hot by us-
ing a scraper.
• Once the hob has cooled down, you can
remove stubborn dirt by using a specially
made, commercially available detergent.
