Problem Dirt
1 .
Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic, aluminium foil or other materials with a glass
scraper immediately and while still hot .
Important
: There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a
hot cooking zone:
2 .
Clean the hob as normal when it has cooled down .
If the cooking zone on which something has
melted has been allowed to cool, warm it up
again for cleaning .
Scratches or dark blemishes on the ceramic glass
surface, caused, for example, by a pan with sharp
edges, cannot be removed . However, they do
not impair the function of the hob .
Hob Frame
Important
: Do not use vinegar, lemon juice or scale remover on the hob frame;
otherwise dull blemishes will appear .
1 .
Wipe the frame with a damp cloth.
2 .
Moisten dried debris with a wet cloth. Wipe and rub dry.
To avoid damaging your appliance
• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or for storage.
• Do not operate a cooking zone if there is no pan on the cooktop or if the pan is empty.
• Ceramic glass is very tough and resistant to temperature shock, but it is not unbreakable.
It can be damaged by a particularly sharp or hard object dropping onto the cooktop.
• Do not use pans made of cast iron or which have damaged bases with rough edges or
burrs . Scratching may occur if these pans are slid across the surface .
• Do not place pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to the finish may occur.
• Avoid spilling acidic liquids, for example, vinegar, lemon juice and descaling agents, onto
the hob frame, since such liquids can cause dull spots.
• If sugar or a preparation containing sugar comes into contact with a hot cooking zone and
melts, it should be cleaned off immediately with a kitchen scraper while it is still hot . If al-
lowed to cool, it may damage the surface when removed .
• Keep all items and materials that could melt, for example, plastics, aluminium foil and
oven foils, away from the ceramic glass surface . If something of this nature melts onto the
cooktop, it must be removed immediately with a scraper .
