5 Cleaning and care

• Switch the induction hob off and let it cool down

cleaner or any similar appliance!

5.1 Glass ceramic plate

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 induction 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 glass
ceramic plate 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 induction 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
Heavy soiling and stains (limescaling and shiny, mother-
of-pearl-type stains) can best be
removed when the induction 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 plates. 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 glass ceramic plate 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 design will
wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using
aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.
