Type of soiling
How to proceed
Important!
Everyday soiling
of the glass surface
(fingerprints, marks,
stains left by food or
non-sugary spill-
overs)
•
Switch off the hob.
• Apply a cooktop cleaner
while the glass is still warm
(but not hot!)
•
Clean the glass with a soft
cloth.
• Rinse thoroughly and re-
move all cleaning residues.
• Dry the cooking surface
with a clean textile or
paper towel.
• Make sure that the hob is not
hot.
• Scrubbing sponges, some
nylon sponges and harsh /
abrasive cleaning agents
scratch the glass.
Check the manufacturer's
specifications for suitability
for glass surfaces.
• Always remove cleaning resi-
dues completely.
The cooking surface may
otherwise be damaged.
Boilovers, melts and
hot sugary spills
on the glas surface
Remove these immediately
with a spatula, scraper or
razor blade scraper suitable
for glass ceramic cooktops:
•
Switch off the hob.
• Hold the scraper at a 30°
angle to the hob and scrape
the soiling onto a cool part
of the hob.
(Carefully crush any harde-
ned encrustations before,
if neccessary.)
• Remove the soiling with a
dishcloth or paper towel.
• Clean, rinse and dry the
glass as described under
"Everyday soiling".
• Be careful not to burn yourself
on heated cooking zones.
• Note that the blades of the
scrapers are extremely sharp
and can cause injury.
Keep them out of the reach
of children.
• Remove this type of soiling as
soon as possible to prevent it
from sticking and damaging
the glass.
