Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
The glass ceramic hob should be regularly cleaned, preferably after every use, once the
symbol
has disappeared from the displays.
Smudges from aluminium-based pans can be easily cleaned off with a cloth dampened
in vinegar.
Remove any burnt residues after cooking with the scraper provided; rinse with water
and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Regular use of the scraper considerably reduces
the need for chemical detergents for the daily cleaning of the hob.
Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. cleaning powders, oven sprays, spot-
removers and wire sponges).
Dirt
which may have fallen on the hob while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can scratch the hob when
moving saucepans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the cooking surface immediately.
Changes in colour
do not affect the functioning and stability of the glass ceramic. 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 saucepans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the
surface, and due to the use of unsuitable detergents. These are difficult to remove with ordinary cleaning
products. It may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process several times. Using aggressive
detergents, or friction with the base of saucepans, can wear away the decoration on the hob over time
and contribute to the formation of dark marks.
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 easily removed.
After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that there is no detergent left on the cooking
surface as it will undergo an aggressive reaction when heated up and could modify the structure of the
cooking surface.
