Recommendations for cleaning the hob
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
Any smudges left from aluminium-based
pans can be easily cleaned off using a
cloth dampened in vinegar.
After cooking, r
emove any burnt-on
residue after cooking; 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.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts
made of steel or that have metallic
surface finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickel-
or chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Take care not to spill sugar or sweet
mixtures onto the hob when hot. Never
place materials or substances which
may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on
the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off
the cooking zones and clean while the
hot plate is still lukewarm to prevent
damage to the surface.
We recommend the use of
cleaning products distributed by
the manufacturer.
