CAUTION!
Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the hob is cool. The appliance
should be disconnected from the power supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the ceramic hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning agents will damage it. You
should remove any residues with warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface; you should clean it using
warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
You may find it easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob surface is still warm. However
you should take care not to burn yourself if cleaning the hob surface when it is still warm.

Important!
The inside of the hob should only be washed with warm water and a small amount of washing-
up liquid.
CAUTION!
Ensure the heating plate is clean. A soiled zone does not transfer all of
the heat.
Protect the hob against corrosion. Switch off the hob when not in use.
Do
not leave pans with prepared dishes based on fats and oils unattended on the
switched on plate; hot fat can spontaneously catch fire.
