Removal of sugar, or syrups, plastic
or aluminium foil
If such problems occur, switch off
the hob, but do not let it cool down.
Scrape the sugar or other residue
thoroughly from the hob with a
shielded blade scraper taking care
not to burn yourself.
When the hob is cool, clean with a pro-
prietary cleaner.
Suitable cleaners
There are proprietary cleaners on the
market for cleaning ceramic hobs.
Follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
Do not apply to the hob when still
hot.
After applying the cleaner let it dry
and then rub it off using paper
kitchen towels.
Remove every trace of cleaner from
the hob with a damp cloth. It could
have an adverse effect on the hob
when heated up.
Some cleaners incorporate a silicone
ingredient which acts as a protective
film on the hob. It makes the hob sur-
face smoother and prevents water and
soiling adhering to the surface.
However, cooking at high temperatures
reduces the effect and the cleaner
needs to be reapplied for renewed ef-
fect.
By always cleaning the ceramic sur-
face with one of these special cleaners
you will help to avoid the damage
caused by sugar and syrups and alumi-
nium foil deposits.
