Stainless Steel Surfaces; The Ceramic Glass Plate - AEG 6531 DG Instruction Book

Stainless steel surfaces

Perform daily cleaning with a slightly
damp cloth. For more severe soiling,
use a liquid cream. Always clean the
steel in the direction of the steel finish.
To ensure that the steel retains its
shine, it is recommended that you use
a polishing agent for stainless steel on
a regular basis. Always polish in the
direction of the steel finish (cross-
wise).
Never use steel wool, metal sponges or
other abrasive cleaning agents.
The ceramic glass
Immediately scrape off stains caused
by food which has boiled over, spilled
sugar, dishes containing sugar (jam,
juice, etc.), melted plastic and
aluminium foil while the ceramic glass
is still hot. If the ceramic glass is
allowed to cool it may become
damaged.
After use the ceramic glass should be
wiped with a damp cloth with washing
up liquid. For severe soiling you can
follow these steps:
1. Remove stains etc., with the
ceramic glass scraper.
2. Make sure that the hob has cooled
down. Use a ceramic
cleaning agent such as vitroclen.
Shake the bottle and apply a couple
of squirts to the ceramic hob.
3. Wipe the ceramic hob clean with
a damp cloth or kitchen towel.
Tough stains can be removed by
rubbing the stain hard with
kitchen towel.
4. Wipe off remaining cleaning
agent with a damp cloth.
5. Wipe with a dry cloth, if
required.
Make sure that the ceramic glass is dry
when you heat it up again. Ceramic
glass can develop rainbow-like stripes
if heated while damp.
Spillages must be removed
immediately, while the burner is still
warm, using a ceramic glass scraper.
Especially damaging are melted
plastic, aluminium, or any foodstuff
containing sugar, including natural
sugar, as these can create permanent
"pockmarks" and craters on the
ceramic surface. After cleaning, polish
thoroughly with the cleaning agent
supplied with the unit.
Defects in the ceramic surface which
can be related to the above are not
covered by the warranty.
Warning:
Aluminium foil and plastic utensils
should not to be placed on hot
surfaces.
The surface should not be used for
storage.

Cleaning of gas burners
Clean the control panel and knobs plus
the pan grid, as well as burner caps and
rings, with ordinary cleansing agents.
Never use scouring powder, Brillo
pads, metal pads or other scouring
agents on enamelled or painted
surfaces!
Avoid boil-over
If water accidentally gets into the edge
of the burner head (boil-over) the
water must be removed with a lint-free
cloth before the burner is turned on
again.
Likewise, caps and grids must be
thoroughly wiped off before the gas
ring is used again so that the boil-over
does not permanently scar the enamel
or paint.
