Cleaning The Ceramic Hob - Tricity Bendix CSIE 506 X Instruction Booklet

Cleaning the Ceramic Hob

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
cooker from the electricity supply.
Before cleaning, make sure the hob is cool.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven
sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or
sponges with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agents such as Vitroclen and ceramic
hob scrapers are available from department stores.
Cleaning after each use
Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a
damp cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a
scraper. Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a
damp cloth, and Vitroclen.
Stain removal
Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be
removed from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob
cleaning agent such as Vitroclen when cool.
Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content
must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this
type of soilage is not removed immediately it can
cause irreparable damage to the ceramic surface.
When the surface has cooled wipe over with a damp
cloth and Vitroclen.
Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the
ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the
manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.
Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking
zones. Ensure any residues are wiped off before the
cooking zones are used again.

Check whether the use of a scraper is more effective.
If the use of a scraper and a ceramic hob cleaner proves
unsuccessful, your hob surface may have been damaged by
using unsuitable cleaning agents, or by pan bases with a
scouring effect. This will not impair the efficiency of your
ceramic hob.
Pots and pans with unsuitable bottoms, or unsuitable cleaning
agents have been used. The discolourations can only be
removed with considerable effort, using a ceramic glass
cleaner.
These may be caused by scraping or melted on objects and
cannot be removed. This will not impair the efficiency of your
ceramic hob
