Cleaning and care
32
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The hob surface, pan supports and
burners will be hot after use.
Allow the hob to cool down before
cleaning it.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach live electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the hob.
All surfaces could be discoloured or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or
cleaning agents.
Food boiling over can cause discol-
oration of the burner components.
Remove any soiling and salt and
sugar splashes immediately.
When a control knob is pressed
down, a spark is generated on the ig-
nitor. Do not press down the control
knob while you are cleaning or
touching the hob or a burner in the
vicinity of an ignitor.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda, al-
kalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
– stain and rust removers
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
– solvent-based cleaning agents
– dishwasher cleaner
– oven sprays
– glass cleaning agents
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scourers), or sponges which
have been previously used and still
contain abrasive cleaning agents
– melamine eraser blocks
