Cleaning and care
Do not clean the hob using high pressure
c
leaners or steam jets.
m
Caution, risk of burns! Before cleaning,
w
ait until the residual heat display has
gone out.
m
Caution, risk of injury! The blade of the
included glass scraper is very sharp.
Replace damaged blades immediately.
Cleaning the glass ceramic
Clean the hob after every use. This prevents food
from being burnt into the hob surface.
Use the blade scraper to remove food residues and
grease splashes. Only use the blade on the glass
ceramic hob. Do not use the blade casing as it may
scratch the glass ceramic.
Use a glass cer
amic cleaner and kitchen towel or a
sof
t, moist cloth to clean the surface when it is luke
warm.
Wipe the surface with a moist cloth and rub dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not apply the cleaner if the surface is still too
hot. It can become stained.
Water marks can also be removed using lemon juice
or vinegar.
The glass ceramic cleaner will coat the glass
ceramic surface with a gleaming, dirt repellent film.
This will help to preserve the attractive appearance
of your hob over a long period of time and make it
easier to clean as well.
Do not use scouring, abrasive or chemically
agg
ressive cleaners (e.g. oven cleaner).
Do not use cleaners which contain sand or c
hlor
ine.
Do not use abrasive sponges or brushes.
Food with a high sugar content (e.g. boiled-over
milk, jam) can damage the surface of your hob.
Immediately remove such food using the glass
scraper.
Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the use of
unsuitable cleaning agents or abrasion from the
bases of some po
ts. These do no
t int
erfere with the
operation of the glass ceramic hob. Remove the
discoloration with glass ceramic cleaner.
Always keep the control panels clean and dry. Food
residues and spills can impair the function of the
control panels.
Please refer to the enclosed brochure for further
notes on cleaning.
Cleaning the stainless steel frame
(only CE 491)
Use a soft cloth and light soapy liquid or a
c
ommercially available stainless steel cleaner to
clean the hob frame. Only wipe in the direction of
the brushed metal.
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaners.
Do not use the blade scraper, as it may scratch the
hob frame.
Do not use lemon or vinegar to clean the hob frame.
This could result in matt patches.
