Cleaning The Ceramic Hob - Electrolux EKC 60353 Instruction Booklet

Cleaning the Ceramic Hob

Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT DISCONNECT
DISCONNECT DISCONNECT DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Never use steam or high pressure
steam cleaners to clean the
appliance.
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 Hob
Brite and ceramic hob scrapers are
available from your local Service Force
Centre.
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 Hob Brite.
Special problems
If a chemical cleaner proves
inadequate
• when darks stains occur
• when metallic
discolourations appear on
the cooking zone
• when the surface shows
scratches
Stain removal
Light metallic stains (aluminium
residues) can be removed from the
cooking zone with a ceramic hob
cleaning agent such as Hob Brite 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
Hob Brite.
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
