Maintenance and cleaning
For reasons of hygiene and
safety, the cooking zones
must be kept clean. Grease
stains and spilled food
generate smoke when heated,
and can even cause fire.
Stainless steel surfaces
Clean the appliance after use with a
soft cloth well wrung out in warm
water, use a small amount of liquid
detergent for stubborn soiling.
Stainless steel parts may become
straw coloured with use, use a
proprietary stainless steel cleaner to
remove this straw discolouration.
Never use metal wool, metal
sponges or other abrasive
cleaning agents.
The ceramic glass hob
Immediately scrape off stains
caused by food which has boiled
over using the scraper supplied
with the hob, spilled sugar, dishes
containing sugar (jam, juice, etc.),
melted plastic and aluminium foil
while the ceramic hob is still hot.
If the ceramic hob is allowed to
cool it may become damaged. A
dirty ceramic hob decreases the
heat transfer between cooking
zones and cookware.
After use the cooking zones should
be wiped with a damp cloth with
washing up liquid. For severe
soiling you can follow these steps:
1. Remove stains etc., with the
ceramic hob scraper.
2. Make sure that the ceramic hob
has cooled down. Use a ceramic
cleaning agent, such as vitroclen.
3. Wipe the ceramic hob clean with
a damp cloth or kitchen roll.
Tough stains can be removed by
rubbing the stain hard with
kitchen roll.
4. Wipe off remaining cleaning
agent with a damp cloth.
5. Wipe with a dry cloth, if
required.
Make sure that the ceramic hob is
dry when you heat it up again.
Ceramic hobs can develop
rainbow-like stripes if heated while
damp.
