6 Cleaning and care

• Switch the hob off and let it cool down before you

cleaner or similar appliance!

accidentally switched on!

6.1 Glass ceramic hob

Important! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such
as rough scouring agent, abrasive saucepan cleaners,
rust and stain removers etc.
Cleaning after use
1. Always clean the entire hob when it has become
soiled. It is recommended that you do so every time
the hob is used. Use a damp cloth and a little washing
up liquid for cleaning. Then dry the hob with a clean
dry cloth to ensure that there is no detergent left on
the surface of the hob.
Weekly cleaning
2. Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with
commercial glass ceramic cleaning agents. Please
follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. When
applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in a
protective fi lm which is resistant to water and dirt. All
the dirt will remain on the fi lm and can then easily be
removed. Then rub the hob dry with a clean cloth.
Make sure that no cleaning agent remains on the
surface of the hob since this will react aggressively
when the hob is heated up and will change the
surface.
Cleaning and care
6.2 Specifi c soiling
Heavy soiling and stains (limescaling and shiny, mother-
of-pearl-type stains) can best be
removed when the hob is still slightly
warm. Use commercial cleaning
agents to clean the hob. Proceed as
outlined under Item 2.
First soak food which has boiled
over with a wet cloth and then
remove remaining soiling with a
special glass scraper for glass ceramic hobs. Then clean
the hob again as described under Item 2.
Burnt sugar and melted plastic must be removed
immediately, when they are still hot, with a glass scraper.
Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2.
Grains of sand which may get onto the hob when you
peel potatoes or clean lettuce may scratch the surface of
the hob when you move pots around. Make sure that no
grains of sand are left on the hob.
Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface have no
eff ect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic.
These colour changes are not changes in the material
but food residues which were not removed and which
have burnt into the surface.
Shining areasare caused by wear from pan bottoms
or unsuitable cleaning agents, especially when using
cookware with aluminium bases or by unsuitable
cleaning agents. They are diffi cult to remove with
standard cleaning agents. You may need to repeat the
cleaning process several times. In time, the decoration
will wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of
using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.
