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 clea-
ner or similar appliance!
• When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly
over the ON/OFF key. The hob may otherwise be acci-
dentally 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 com-
mercial 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 re-
main 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.
Cleaning and care
5.2 Specifi c soiling
Heavy soiling and stains (limesca-
ling and shiny, mother-of-pearl-type
stains) can best be removed when the
hob is still slightly warm. Use commer-
cial 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 imme-
diately, 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 aff ect the func-
tion 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 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.
