Cleaning And Maintenance - hergom Pas II Owner's Manual

4 – CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning should only be done when the cooker is cold, using a slightly damp cloth with soapy water,
drying out below.
Avoid using strong detergents or caustic cleaning products or using abrasives that could scratch or
damage the enamel or glass.
THE CERAMIC GLASS TOP
(On the Eclecsys and Pas 1 Rear flue models only)
The ceramic glass top plate should never be cleaned on its underside.
Glass top on the Eclecsys model - when the plate has been tempered you can then use a special
cleaner for ceramic hobs, applying it with a paper towel. Then rinse with a damp cloth, and dry with
a clean cloth. The use of sponges should be used with cleaning products, ensure not to use a scourer
or steel wool that will scratch the surfaces.
When hot the outer surface should only be cleaned using a scraper appropriate for ceramic glass, for
sale in supermarkets, hardware stores, etc. Use the scraper to clean food remains, grease spatters,
etc. when still hot, to stop them from sticking more firmly to the surface when they cool down.
Always keep scraper within easy reach. If small pieces of aluminium foil, plastic, sugar or other
materials that melt quickly fall onto the surface of the worktop, they should be eliminated
immediately while the worktop is hot using the scraper, to prevent the surface from getting
damaged.
Cleaning products
When the plate has already cooled, always use a special cleaner for ceramic glass, applying it with
paper towels. Then wipe it clean with a damp cloth, and dry it with a clean cloth.
We do not recommend using sponges or other high-absorption kitchen cloths, as the liquid part of
the cleaning products is absorbed, leaving the harsher or highly concentrated components on their
surface, which could lead to scratching or abrasions. There are preservative products that produce a
shiny protective layer against dirt.
Some materials on the bottom of containers can leave marks with a metallic shine on ceramic glass.
There are products on the market that solve these problems.
Limescale marks on the surface can also be eliminated, but they are avoidable if the surfaces of the
containers are clean and dry.
If discolouration marks or damages appear on the glass plate, it is due to the fact that products not
specified for ceramic glass have been used.
Under no circumstances should metal scouring pads, steel wool, knives or any another utensil that is
liable to damage the ceramic glass surface be used for cleaning the worktop. Make sure that any
cooking pans are specially for ceramic glass or at least have bottoms that do not have any roughness
or defects that could scratch the surface.
