Daily Care
First of all make sure that all heat indicator lights are o and
that the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab of ceramic
cleaning cream in the centre of each area to be cleaned.
Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cream onto the
cooking surface. As a nal step, wipe the cooking surface with
a clean, dry paper towel.
Cleaning Spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn the
unit o and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone with a
clean paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is
on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit has completely
cooled down, and then follow the instructions below
('Cleaning Burned-on Spills').
If you accidentally melt anything on the surface, or if you spill
foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce,
fruit juice, etc.), remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor
scraper, while the unit is still hot.
IMPORTANT: Use an oven glove to protect your hand from
potential burns.
Scrape the major spill or melted material from the cooking
zone and push into a cold area. Then, turn the unit 'OFF' and
allow it to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking
surface cools down and the heat indicator lights go o , follow
the 'Daily Care' procedure outlined above.
Cleaning Burned-on Spills
Make sure that the heat indicator lights are o and that the
hob is cool. Remove the excess burned-on substance with a
single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at an angle of
about 30° to the surface and then scrape o the burned-on
matter (Fig.5-1).
