Cleaning the hob

Cleaning the hob
CAUTION!
Risk of burns!
Improper handling may lead to burns.
During use the appliance becomes hot.
The cooking zones/areas get very hot
during operation.
■ Prior to cleaning, switch off the hob
and allow to cool completely. Excep-
tion: You want to remove sugary or
starchy food residue, plastics or alu-
minium foil (see next page).
■ Proceed with caution since the cook-
ing zones/areas may still be warm
even after the residual heat indicator
" H " has gone out.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
Improper use of the hob can cause
damage.
■ A steam cleaner is not to be used
for cleaning the device. Steam could
get through cracks into live electrical
components of the hob and cause
short circuiting.
■ Do not use any harsh abrasive de-
tergents, scouring agents, abrasive
powder or steel sponges; they can
scratch the surface. This can destroy
the glass.
■ Clean and maintain the hob regu-
larly with a special care product con-
taining a special impregnating oil for
hobs. Such products can be found in
specialist shops.
Slight soiling which is not
burnt on
• Switch the hob off.
• After it has cooled down, wipe off light dirt
with a damp cloth.
• If necessary, use a suitable cleaner and
wipe with clean water.
• Then dry the surface with a soft cloth 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.

Hard, baked-on dirt

• Tough stains can be most easily removed
after cooling using a blade scraper. Spe-
cially designed cleaning products can
also be found in specialist shops.
• Finally, wipe the surface with a damp
cloth.
• Treat the hob with a special care product
after cleaning.
