not forget to cover the pan properly. When
the water starts boiling, turn the knob to the

Cleaning and maintenance of ceramic-glass hob

fig. 1
fig. 3
Ceramic glass hob should be cleaned only
when completely cooled down, preferably after
each use, otherwise even the slightest stains
remaining after cooking may burn into the hob
surface with each following use.
For regular maintenance of ceramic-glass
hob use special cleansing agents, produced
in such way to create protective film upon the
surface.
Before each use, wipe the dust and other
particles from the hob - they may scratch the
surface (Fig. 1).
Caution: use of steel wool, abrasive cleaning
sponges, and abrasive detergents can scratch
the surface of the hob. The surface may also
be damaged by the use of aggressive sprays
and inappropriate liquid chemicals (Fig.1 and
2).

Instructions for use, mounting and connection
• Some 5-10 minutes before the food is
cooked, switch off the hot plate , whichever
you are using.
Pattern marks can be erased by the use of
aggressive cleansing agents or rough and
damaged cookware bottoms (Fig. 2).
Minor stains are removed with moist soft
cloth; after that the surface should be wiped
dry (Fig. 3).
Water stains are removed with gentle vinegar
solution, but you must not wipe the frame with
it (certain models only), since it may lose its
glow. Never use any aggressive sprays or
limestone removers (Fig. 3).
Major stains are removed with special
ceramic-glass cleansers. Follow strictly the
manufacturer's instructions.
Be careful to remove any remains of
cleansing agent from the hob surface,
otherwise they will be heated during the
next use and can damage the hob (fig. 3).
Stubborn and burnt stains are removed with
special ceramic-glass scraper. Be careful,
however, not to touch the hotplate surface with
the scraper handle (Fig. 4).
Handle the scraper with utmost care to avoid
injuries!
Sugar and sugar containing food may
permanently damage the ceramic-glass hob
surface (Fig.5), so the remains of sugar and
sugar containing food must be scraped off from
the hob surface immediately, when the
hotplates are still hot (Fig. 4).
Discoloring of ceramic-glass hob has no
effect whatsoever on its operation and stability.
In most cases, it appears as the consequence
of burnt in food remains, or as a result of
dragging pots and pans (especially aluminum
or copper bottom cookware) across the
surface, and such discoloring is rather hard to
remove.
Note: All described faults are mostly esthetical
and do not affect directly the operation of the
appliance. Remedy of such faults is not
covered by warranty.
