Cleaning and Care
Always clean the hob after it has cooled down. Even the slightest amount of
dirt will burn into the surface the next time you switch it on. Use only
recommended cleaners. Steel wool, cleaning sponges and abrasive
powders scratch the surface. Do not use oven sprays as these are
aggressive and damage the surface.
Light amounts of dirt
Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts of dirt from the
surface. Rinse with cold water and then dry thoroughly. Use vinegar, lemon
juice or a calcium dissolving agent to remove water stains from the surface.
If these agents come into contact with the frame, wipe them off with a wet
cloth, otherwise the frame loses its gloss.
Heavy dirt
Use "Sidol Special for Stainless Steel", "Stahlfix" or "Cerafix" to remove
heavy dirt. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to take
effect than wipe off completely with cold water; then dry the surface
thoroughly. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to

Persistent dirt and caking
can best be removed with a glass scraper

which can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY shops
or from our after-sales service. Pay attention to handle on purchasing. If you
buy a glass scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic as this
will stick to the hot surface. Take care when using the scraper.
Food that contains sugar
may permanently damage the glass ceramic
surface because they can produce scratches after they have become dry. In
order to prevent such surface damage, such substances must be
immediately removed with the glass scraper while they are still hot

Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface
These have no effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic.
These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues
which were not removed and which have burnt in.
Metallic iridescent discolouring

is caused by wear from pan bottoms or
unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can be removed with great
difficulty with "Sidol Special for Stainless Steel" or "Stahlfix". You may have
to clean several times to remove the discolouring.
Worn decoration

In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will
appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan
bottoms.

If cared for properly, your hob will remain beautiful for many years and
cleaning will be easier.
To care for your hob
we recommend that you use "Cerafix". The high
silicone percentage of this cleaner creates a protective film which keeps off
water and dirt. All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Clean
your hob and the cooking zones regularly.
