The ceramic surface should be
cleaned regularly, preferably after each
use.
Before cleaning allow the hob to cool
down. Wipe soiling off using a damp
cloth. Stubborn soiling is best removed
with a shielded scraper blade.
Then apply a proprietary cleaning
agent for ceramic surfaces using a soft
cloth or kitchen paper towel. This way
any limescale deposits, caused for
example by water boiling over and me-
tallic marks (aluminium deposits) are
removed.
If wished you could use a cleaning
agent with a protective additive de-
signed to prevent water marks and
smears adhering to the surface.
Finally wipe the hob surface with a
damp cloth and then dry it with a clean
soft cloth.
Should any
sugar, plastic or alumi-
nium foil
spill or fall on to the hob while
it is in use, first switch off the hob. Then
immediately, while the surface is still
hot, use a shielded scraper blade to
scrape off the sugar, plastic or alumi-
nium foil, taking care not to burn your-
self. Allow the hob to cool down and
then clean with a suitable proprietary
ceramic hob cleaner.
