5 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!
5.1 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 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.
5.2 Specifi c 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 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.
Cleaning and care
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 decoration will wear
off and dark stains will appear as a result of using
aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.
5.3 Hob fan
Cleaning the metal grease fi lters
Clean the metal grease fi lters in the dishwasher or in
mild soapy water at least once a month or in the event of
excessive grease deposits and/or intensive use.
To remove the fi lter, lift up the fan cover and lift the
U-shaped stainless steel ventilation plate in the suction
intake opening upwards to remove it from the fan. Now
remove the fi lter. To do so, press the lock in the recessed
handle downwards and remove the fi lter.
The fi lter can be rinsed in a dishwasher. Stand the fi lter
upright in the dishwasher. Please use only rinse aid
that is suitable for use with aluminium in order to avoid
damaging and discolouring the fi lters.
Never rinse right next to glasses or light-coloured
porcelain.
Do not operate the fan without grease fi lters!
After rinsing the fi lter, dry it and replace it in the fan.
Please make sure that the recessed handle is visible
after you have replaced the fi lter. If possible, wipe the
easily accessible inside of the fan with a cloth dampened
with detergent every time you replace a fi lter, while at
the same time paying attention to protruding parts in the
inside of the fan.
Fan cleaning and care
The fan is best cleaned every time you clean the fi lters.
Condensation water may collect under the fi lter after
water has boiled rapidly with the lid of the pot removed.
This is quite normal. The water should, however, be
removed and the inside of the extraction housing
cleaned.
The ventilation openings in the cover ensure that residual
moisture resulting from cooking and cleaning can escape
if necessary when the fan is not in operation and the
cover is on.
Please clean the fi lter and the inside of the fan if
unpleasant remaining odours escape.
The fan is best cleaned with a soft damp cloth and mild
soapy water.
Service
The fi lter must remain accessible. Replace the charcoal
fi lter mats of a charcoal fi lter every 5 to 24 months.
Replace the charcoal fi lter mats of plasma fi lters at least
every 5 years. To do so, open the cover of the casing and
replace the charcoal fi lter mats.
