CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
OF CERAMIC-GLASS HOB
S-DDH1 S-DDH2
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 fol-
lowing use.
For regular maintenance of ceramic-glass hob use special cleansing
agents, produced in such way to create protective film upon the sur-
face.
Before each use, wipe the dust and other particles from the hob, they
A
may scratch the surface (Fig. A).
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. A and B).
Pattern marks can be erased by the use of aggressive cleansing
agents or rough and damaged cookware bottoms (Fig. B).
Minor stains are removed with moist soft cloth; after that the surface
should be wiped dry (Fig. C).

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. C).
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. C).
Stubborn and burnt stains are removed with special ceramic-glass
C
scraper. Be careful, however, not to touch the hotplate surface with
the scraper handle (Fig. D).
Handle the scraper with utmost care to avoid injuries!
Sugar and sugar containing food may permanently damage the ce-
ramic-glass hob surface (Fig. E), so the remains of sugar and sugar
containing food must be scraped off from the hob surface immedi-
ately, when the hotplates are still hot (Fig. D).
Discoloring of ceramic-glass hob has no effect whatsoever on its op-
eration and stability. In most cases, it appears as the consequence of
D
burnt in food remains, or as a result of dragging pots and pans (espe-
cially aluminium 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 di-
rectly the operation of the appliance. Remedy of such faults is not
covered by warranty.
