CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper routine maintenance and cleaning
of the appliance can significantly extend its
trouble‑free operation.
Do not use steam cleaning equipment for
cleaning.
Before cleaning, turn off the hob (all knobs
set to "0") and wait until it cools down. Do
not use abrasive scouring powders.
Cleaning after each use
Wipe light stains with a damp cloth
•
without detergent. The use of dish
washing liquid may cause a bluish
surface discolouration. These persistent
stains cannot always be removed right
away, even using a special cleaner.
Firmly adhering dirt can be carefully
•
removed with a scraper. Then wipe the
cooking surface with a damp cloth.

Removing stains
•
Bright stains of pearl colour (residual
aluminium) can be removed from the
cool hob using a special detergent.
Limestone residue (eg after evaporated
water) can be removed by vinegar or a
special special detergent.
Do not turn off the cooking zone when
•
removing sugar, food containing sugar,
plastic and aluminium foil. Immediately
and thoroughly scrape the leftovers
off the hot cooking zone using a sharp
scraper. Once the bulk of the stain is
removed the hob can be turned off and
clean the cooled off cooking zone with
a special detergent.
Special cleaners are available in supermar
kets, electrical and home appliance shops,
drug stores, as well as retail food shops and
kitchen showrooms. Scrapers can be pur
chased in DIY and construction equipment
stores, as well as in shops carrying painting
accessories.
