Cleaning and care

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.

Specific soiling

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

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.

Hob with fan

Cleaning the metal grease filter
Clean the metal grease filter at least once a month or when it is
covered with grease or when in intensive use. The filter can be
washed in the dishwasher or rinsed in a mild solution of dish
washing liquid.
To remove the filter, remove the covering of the filter and push
out upwards the U-shaped air-conducting sheet from stainless
steel from the filter. The filter can now be removed by pressing
down the lock that is placed in the shell handle.
The filter can be washed in the dishwasher. It must be placed in
the dishwasher in vertical position. Please exclusively use rinse
agent that is compatible with aluminium, to avoid damage or
discoloration of the filter.
Do not place filter right beside glasses or white porcelain.
Don't operate the fan without the grease filter!
After the cleaning of the filter, it can be reinserted to the fan.
Please ensure that the shell handle is still visible when the filter is
placed back.
If possible, when cleaning the filter also clean the inside of the
fan with a cloth moistened with a mild solution of dish washing
liquid. Be vigilant about protruding components in the inside of
the fan.
Cleaning and care of the fan
The fan should best be cleaned at every cleaning of the filter.
Condensation water can accumulate under the filter when water
boils and evaporates if there is no lid on the pot, which is entirely
normal. Still, the water should be removed and the inside of the
fan should be cleaned.
The ventilation holes in the covering ensure that even when the
fan is in standby mode and the cover is in place without the
blower fan running, residual moisture can evaporate from the
inside of the fan.
If irritating odors escape, please clean the filter and the inside of
the fan.
Clean the fan with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of
dish washing liquid.
Service
The filter must remain accessible.
For active carbon filters, replace the carbon filter mats every 5-24
months.
For plasma filters, replace the filter mats every 5 years (max.).
