Cleaning the hob
CAUTION!
Risk of burns!
Improper handling may lead to burns.
■
Allow the cooking zones to cool com-
pletely before cleaning. Exception:
Immediately remove sugar or starchy
food particles, synthetic materials, or
aluminium foil (for further informa-
tion see below).
NOTICE
For cleaning purposes, do not use any
harsh cleaning agents or scouring pow-
ders, steel wool, oven sprays, steam
cleaners or high-pressure cleaners! They
can damage the surface. High-pressure
cleaners can cause a short circuit.
• Clean and maintain the hob regularly
with a special care product containing a
special impregnating oil for glass ceramic
hobs. Such products can be found in spe-
cialist shops.
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 use a soft cloth to dry the
surfaces to prevent lime stains.
• You can easily remove light stains having
a pearlescent colour (aluminium residues,
such as from aluminium foil) using a com-
mercially available detergent that is spe-
cifically available for such cleaning.
• Vinegar is good for removing lime stains.
Hard, baked-on dirt
• Stubborn dirt is best removed after cool-
ing with a scraper (not included in pack-
age contents).
• You will also find special cleaning clean-
ers in specialist shops.
Finally, wipe the surface with a damp
cloth.
• Treat the hob with a special care product
after cleaning.
Removing sugar or starchy food
particles, synthetic materials, or
aluminium foil
NOTICE
Immediately remove sugar or starchy
food particles and residues of plastics
or aluminium foil. Otherwise, these may
cause permanent and irreparable dam-
age to the hob.
• Put protection on your hands before
cleaning, for example, oven mitts to pro-
tect against burns. Then remove the dirt
with a scraper (not included in package
contents).
• Once the hob has cooled off, you can re-
move residues using a specially designed
cleaning product which is available from
specialist shops.
• Treat the hob with a special care product
after cleaning.
