Ceramic glass hob should be cleaned only when completely cooled down,
preferably after each use, otherwise even the slightest stains remaining after
cooking may burn into the hob surface with each following use.
For regular maintenance of ceramic-glass hob, use special cleansing agents,
produced in such way to create a protective film upon the surface.
Before each use, wipe off the dust and other particles from the hob, as they may
scratch the surface (Fig. 1).
Caution: use of steel wool, abrasive cleaning sponges, and abrasive detergents
may scratch the surface of the hob. The surface may also be damaged by the
use of aggressive sprays and inappropriate liquid chemicals (Fig.1 and 2).
Pattern marks can be erased by the use of aggressive cleansing agents or rough
and damaged cookware bottoms (Fig. 2).
Minor stains are removed with a moist soft cloth; after that the surface should be
wiped dry (Fig. 3).
Water stains are removed with gentle vinegar solution, but you must not wipe the
frame with it (certain models only), since it may lose its glow. Never use any
aggressive sprays or limestone removers (Fig. 3).
Major stains are removed with special ceramic-glass cleansers.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely.
Be careful to remove any residue of cleansing agent from the hob surface,
otherwise it will be heated during the next use and it can damage the hob (Fig.
3).
Stubborn and burnt stains are removed with special ceramic-glass scraper. Be
careful, however, not to touch the cooking zone surface with the scraper handle
(Fig. 4).
Handle the scraper with utmost care to avoid injuries!
Sugar and sugar-containing food may permanently damage the ceramic-glass
hob surface (Fig. 5), so the remains of sugar and sugar containing food must be
scraped off from the hob surface immediately, when the cooking zones are still
hot (Fig. 4).
Discoloration of ceramic-glass hob has no effect whatsoever on its operation and
stability. In most cases, it appears as a consequence of burnt in food remains, or
as a result of dragging pots and pans (especially aluminium or copper bottom
cookware) across the surface, and such discoloring is rather hard to remove.
Note: All described faults are mostly esthetical and do not affect directly the
operation of the appliance. Remedy of such faults is not covered by warranty.
