4.1 Cleaning the hob
Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
Light coloured marks from pans with
aluminium bases can be easily cleaned off
with a cloth moistened in vinegar. After
cooking, remove any burnt residues; rinse
with water and dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth.
Dirt
which may have fallen on the hob
while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can
scratch the hob when moving pans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the
cooking surface immediately.
Changes in colour
do not affect the
operation and stability of the glass. These
are not alterations to the material of the hob
but just residues which have not been
removed and have then carbonised.
Shiny surfaces
can form due to the bases
of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing
on the surface, and due to the use of
unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to
remove using conventional cleaning
products. It may be necessary to repeat the
cleaning process several times. Use of
corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan
bases can wear away the decoration on
the hob over time and contribute to the
formation of stains.
Weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week
using an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning
product. Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. The silicon in these products
creates a protective, water-repellent
membrane which also resists dirt. All marks
stay on the membrane and can therefore be
removed easily. After cleaning, dry the
surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that
there is no detergent left on the cooking
surface as it might undergo an aggressive
reaction when heated up and could modify
the structure of the cooking surface.
Knobs
The knobs should be cleaned with a soft
cloth dampened with warm water, then
dried carefully. They can be removed by
pulling them out of their housing.
Do not use aggressive products
containing alcohol or products for
cleaning steel and glass when
cleaning the knobs, as these
products could cause permanent
damage.
