Cleaning

After each use of the glass-ceramic hob, wait for it to cool
down and clean it; otherwise, even the smallest food residue will
be burnt onto the hot surface next time you use the appliance.
For regular cleaning and maintenance of the glass-ceramic
surface, use special conditioning agents which form a
protective layer on the surface, shielding it from dirt. Before each
use, wipe any dust or other particles from the hob surface and
pan bottom as these could scratch the surface (Figure 1).
Careful: steel wool, abrasive sponges, and abrasive detergents
can scratch the hob surface. Glass ceramic surface can also be

damaged by aggressive sprays and inappropriate or insuffi ciently
shaken (mixed) liquid cleaning agents (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Signs and indications on the hob may be worn if aggressive
cleaning aids are used on cooking zone edges, or if pans with
damaged bottom or used.
Light stains can be removed by a damp soft cloth; then, wipe
the surface dry (Figure 3).
Water stains can be removed using a mild solution of vinegar;
however, do not use this solution to clean the frame (only with
Figure 2
some models, as it may become dull. Do not use aggressive
sprays or decalcifi cation agents (Figure 3).
Heavier stains can be removed using special agents and
utensils for cleaning the glass-ceramic hobs. When using these
products, follow the instructions provided by their respective
manufacturers.
Make sure any residues of cleaning agents are thoroughly
removed, as they could damage the glass-ceramic hob when
the cooking zones heat up (Figure 3).
Figure 3
Stubborn and burnt residues can be removed using a scraper.
make sure the plastic part of the scraper does not come into
contact with a hot cooking zone. Be careful not to cut yourself
with the scraper!
Sugar and sugar-laden food may permanently damage the glass-
ceramic surface (Figure 5); therefore, they should be removed
from the glass-ceramic surface as soon as possible, although
the cooking zone may still be hot (Figure 4). Any change in the
color of the glass-ceramic surface does not affect its operation
Figure 4
or the stability of the surface. Such discolorations are mostly
a result of burnt food residues or use of cookware made of
materials such as aluminum or copper; these stains are diffi cult
to remove.
Warning: All damage described above predominantly relates to
the aesthetics, i.e. appearance of the appliance and do not affect
its functionality directly. Such errors cannot be the subject of a
warranty claim.
