Cleaning The Hob - Hanseatic HHI6417SM User Manual

Cleaning the hob

CAUTION!
Risk of burns!
Improper cleaning can result in burns.
Prior to cleaning, allow the hob to cool
■
completely. Exception: You want to re-
move sugary or starchy food waste, plas-
tics or aluminium foil (see next page).
Proceed with caution since the cooking
■
zones may still be warm even after the
residual heat indicator 'H' has gone out.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
Improper use of the glass ceramic hob can
cause damages.
■ Do not use steam or high-pressure clean-
ers to clean the hob. Steam could get
through cracks into live electrical com-
ponents of the glass ceramic hob and
cause short-circuiting.
Allow the hob to cool completely before
■
cleaning.
Do not use any harsh detergents, scour-
■
ing agents, abrasive powder or steel
sponges; they can damage the surface.
Clean and maintain the hob regularly
■
with a special care product containing a
special impregnating oil for glass ceram-
ic hobs. Such products can be found in
specialist shops.
Cleaning the hob
Slight soiling which is not burnt on

with a damp cloth.

wipe with clean water.
4. Then dry the surface with a soft cloth to
prevent lime stains.

a pearlescent colour (aluminium residues,
such as from aluminium foil) using a com-
mercially available detergent that is spe-
cifically available for such cleaning.
6. Vinegar is good for removing lime stains.

a scraper after cooling. You can also find
special cleaning agents in specialized
shops.

cloth.
