Cleaning and care
• Switch the hob off and let it cool down before you clean it.
• Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or
similar appliance!
• When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the
ON/OFF key. The hob may otherwise be accidentally switched
on!
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
film which is resistant to water and dirt. All the dirt will remain on
the film 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.
Power boost
The power boost setting makes additional power available for induction
cooking zones. A large quantity of water can be brought to the boil very
quickly.

Power management
For technical reasons two cooking zones always comprise a module and
have a maximum power level.
If this power range is exceeded when a higher power setting level or the
power boost function is switched on the power management system will
reduce the power setting of the corresponding cooking zone of the module.
The display for this cooking zone will initially blink, after which the highest-
possible power setting will be consistently displayed.

Specific 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 in the colour of the hob will not affect the function and
the stability of the glass ceramic material. These colour changes
are not changes in the material but food residues which were not
removed and which have burnt into the surface.
Shiny spots result when the base of the cookware rubs on the
surface of the hob, particularly when cookware with an aluminium
base or unsuitable cleaning agents are used. They are difficult 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.
