Cleaning the hob
CAUTION!
Risk of burns!
Improper handling may lead to burns.
■ Allow the cooking zones to cool com-
pletely before cleaning. Exception:
Immediately remove sugar or starchy
food particles, synthetic materials, or
aluminium foil (for further informa-
tion see below).
NOTICE
■ For cleaning purposes, do not use
any harsh cleaning agents or scour-
ing powders, steel wool, oven sprays,
steam cleaners or high-pressure
cleaners! They can damage the sur-
face. High-pressure cleaners can
cause a short circuit.
• Clean and maintain the hob regularly
with a special care product containing a
special impregnating oil for glass ceramic
hobs. Such products can be found in spe-
cialist shops.
Slight soiling which is not burnt on
• After the appliance has cooled, use a
damp cloth with no cleaning agent to wipe
away dirt. Then use a soft cloth to dry the
surfaces to prevent lime stains.
• You can easily remove light stains having
a pearlescent colour (aluminium residues,
such as from aluminium foil) using a com-
mercially available detergent that is spe-
cifically available for such cleaning.
• Vinegar is good for removing lime stains.
Cleaning the hob
Hard, baked-on dirt
• Tough stains can be most easily removed
after cooling using a blade scraper.
Cleaning agents designed especially for
this purpose can also be found in special-
ist shops.
Finally, wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
• Treat the hob with a special care product
after cleaning.

food particles and residues of plastics
or aluminium foil. Otherwise, these

ble damage to the hob.

cleaning, for example, oven mitts to pro-
tect against burns. Then use the blade
scraper to remove the dirt from hot glass
ceramic.
• Once the hob has cooled down, you can
remove residues using a specially de-
signed cleaning product which is available
from specialist shops.
