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!

Glass ceramic hob

Important! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough
scouring agents, 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.

What to do if trouble occurs

Interference with and repairs to the appliance by
unqualified persons are dangerous as they can result
in an electric shock or a short circuit. Do not interfere
with or try to repair the appliance; this could cause
injury to persons and damage to the appliance.
Always have such work done by an expert, e.g. a Customer
Service technician.
Please note
If your appliance is faulty, please check whether you can rectify
the problem yourself by consulting these instructions for use.
You may be able to rectify some problems yourself. They are
described below.

Specific 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 pota-
toes 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
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 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 aggres-
sive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.
The fuses blow regularly?
• Contact a technical customer service or an electrician!
You can't switch your hob on?
• Has the wiring system (fuse box) in the house blown a fuse?
• Have the cooking zones been switched on with the corre-
sponding switch on the cooker?
• Has the hob been connected to the electric power supply of
the cooker?
Does the hob have tears or cracks?
• There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass ceramic hob
develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of any other kind.
Immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect the fuse
immediately and call Customer Service.
