Cleaning the hob
CAUTION!
Risk of burns!
Improper handling may lead to burns.
Prior to cleaning, switch off the hob
■
and allow to cool completely. Excep-
tion: You want to remove sugary or
starchy food waste, plastics or alu-
minium foil (see next page).
Proceed with caution since the cook-
■
ing zones may still be warm even af-
ter the residual heat indicator 'H' has
disappeared.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
Improper use of the hob can cause
damage.
Do not use steam or high-pressure
■
cleaners to clean the hob. Steam
could get through cracks into live
electrical components of the hob and
cause short-circuiting.
Do not use any abrasive glass clean-
■
ers on the hob as they may scratch the
surface. This can destroy the glass.
Clean and maintain the hob regu-
■
larly with a special care product con-
taining a special impregnating oil
for glass hobs. Such products can be
found in specialist shops.
Cleaning the hob
Slight soiling which is not burnt on
• Switch the hob off.
• After it has cooled down, wipe light dirt
with a damp cloth.
• If necessary, use a suitable cleaner and
wipe with clean water.
• Then dry the surface with a soft cloth to
prevent lime stains.
• You can easily remove light stains having
a pearlescent colour (aluminium residues,
such as from aluminium foil) using a com-
mercially available detergent that is spe-
cifically available for such cleaning.
• Vinegar is good for removing lime stains.
Hard, baked-on dirt
• Tough stains can be most easily removed
after cooling using a blade scraper. Spe-
cially designed cleaning products can
also be found in specialist shops.
• Finally, wipe the surface with a damp
cloth.
• Treat the hob with a special care product
after cleaning.
