d) "cera-fix" or "Collo profi"
The choice of what to use depends on how dirty the cooktop is:
a) Light spills that are not burned on can be wiped off with a damp cloth.
b) Larger, dried-on spills can be easily removed with the razor blade scraper.
c) Calcium and water deposits, grease and metallic discolorations can be cleaned
with a suitable product, e.g. Sidol "Stahlglanz" or "Stahlfix" or "cera-fix" or
"Collo profi".
Important: All cleaning products must be wiped off completely with a wet cloth.
Afterwards, the cooktop must be wiped dry! Remnants of cleaning products on
the glass ceramic cooktop can be caustic when the cooktop is heated.
3 What you must not do or should avoid:
-
Never use the glass ceramic panel as a place for storing things.
-
Never use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents, such as grill or oven sprays, spot and
rust remover, scouring powders, sponges with abrasive surfaces.
-
Scratches can also be caused by dragging a pot across the cooktop on which there are
grains of sand from vegetables, etc.
-
The bottoms of pots and pans can have sharp edges or burs, which can leave unsightly
marks or scratches on glass ceramic cooktop. This applies especially to cooking
utensils made of cast iron and enameled pots with electro-engraved bottoms.
-
Make sure that the bottoms of pots are clean. Do not allow pots to cook empty.
-
Important: Scratches on the glass ceramic cooktop cannot be removed.
-
Do not allow the following to come into contact with the hot cooktop: plastics,
aluminum foil, sugar or high-sugar substances.
-
All of these substances must be removed immediately while still hot using the razor
blade scraper.
Important: Stains from melted-on substances cannot be removed. However, they will
not impair the operation of the appliance.
Preventive measures against damage from sugar: Before cooking, clean the glass ceramic
cooktop using cera-fix or Collo profi. This produces a silicone film on the cooktop, which
not only protects the surface but also makes it smoother and repellant to water and dirt.
The silicone film cannot withstand high temperatures, however, and must be renewed at
regular intervals.
4 What cookware should you use?
You can use nearly all cookware designed for electric stoves; the important thing is the
bottom surface. In order to minimize cooking times and maximize the efficiency of the
glass ceramic cooktop, the pot or pan must lie flat on the cooktop when hot and match the
size of the cooking zone. Cookware made of aluminum is not suitable for use on the glass
ceramic cooktop. The diameter of the pot should always be larger than or equal to the
diameter of the cooking zone. The manufacturer of the glass ceramic cooktop (Schott)
grants a test mark for cookware tested by that company.
