There are proprietary cleaners on the
market for cleaning ceramic hobs.
Follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Do not use on hot cooking
zones. Remove every trace of
cleaner from the hob with a damp
cloth. It could have an adverse ef-
fect on the hob when heated up.
Some cleaners incorporate a silicone
ingredient which acts as a protective
film on the hob. It makes the hob sur-
face smoother and prevents water and
soiling adhering to the surface.
However, cooking at high temperatures
reduces the effect and the cleaner
needs to be reapplied for renewed ef-
fect.
By always cleaning the ceramic surface
with one of these special cleaners you
will help to avoid the damage caused
by sugar and syrups and aluminium foil
deposits.
