9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Follow all instructions described in the ‘Safety’
chapter
Before cleaning, check the cooking plate has been
fully switched off and the glass above the cooking
zones has cooled down.
Follow the cleaning instructions below for a long life
and optimum functioning of the device.
9.1 Maintenance of the hob
First let the device cool down, otherwise there is a
risk of burns.
Never use “steam” or “pressure” equipment.
Never use objects that could damage the vitro-
ceramic glass such as an abrasive sponge, abrasive
cleaning liquid or aggressive cleaning agents.
Clean the glass of the cooking plate
Wipe the surface clean with some washing-up liquid on a
damp cloth or sponge (it is best to do this after every use), then
dry the hob by rubbing with a dry cloth or with kitchen paper.
Always make sure that all cloths used are clean in order to avoid
scratching the surface.
In case of stubborn stains
Heavy contamination and stains (limescale stains, pearl-
like shiny spots) are best removed while the hob is still
warm. For this apply common cleaning agents and cleaning
methods. If this does not work well enough, you can use a
specific cleaning product for cleaning vitro-ceramic glass
(for example, Vitroclen)
Boiled-over food should first be soaked with a wet cloth; the
contamination residues should then be removed with a glass
scraper that is specially designed for ceramic hobs. After this,
clean the hob as described under “Cleaning glass hob”.
Burnt-on sugar and melted plastics are best removed
immediately – while still hot – with a glass scraper. After this,
clean the hob as described under “Cleaning glass hob”. Grains
of dirt/sand may fall on the cooking plate while peeling potatoes
or washing vegetables and may cause scratches when moving
the pans. Therefore, ensure there are no grains left on the
surface.
