3. Cleaning and maintenance

Always clean the hob after it has cooled down. Even the slightest amount of dirt
will burn into the surface the next time you switch it on. Use only recommended
cleaners. Steel wool, cleaning sponges and abrasive powders scratch the
surface. Do not use oven sprays as these are aggressive and damage the
surface.
Light amounts of dirt
Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts of dirt from the surface.
Rinse with cold water and then dry thoroughly. Use vinegar, lemon juice or a
calcium dissolving agent to remove water stains from the surface. If these
agents come into contact with the frame, wipe them off with a wet cloth,
otherwise the frame loses its gloss.
Heavy dirt
Use "Sidol Special for Stainless Steel", "Stahlfix" or "Cerafix" to remove heavy
dirt. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to take effect,
then wipe off completely with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly.
Cleaning residues on the surface can become aggressive when the hob is
reheated.

Persistent dirt and caking can best be removed with a glass scraper . A
glass scraper can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY
shops or from our Customer service. Pay attention to handle on purchasing. If
you buy a glass scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic as
this will stick to the hot surface. Take care when using the scraper. Risk of
injury!
Food that contains sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic
surface because they can produce scratches after they have become dry. In
order to prevent such surface damage, such substances must be immediately
,
removed with the glass scraper while they are still hot , .
Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface
These have no effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic. These
colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were
not removed and which have burnt in.
Metallic iridescent discolouring is caused by wear from pan bottoms or
unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can be removed with great
difficulty with "Sidol Special for Stainless Steel" or "Stahlfix". You may have to
clean several times to remove the discolouring.

Worn decoration . In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will
appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bottoms.
If cared for properly, your hob will remain beautiful for many years and cleaning
will be easier.
To care for your hob we recommend that you use "Cerafix". The high silicone
percentage of this cleaner creates a protective film which keeps off water and
dirt. All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Clean your hob and
the cooking zones regularly.
