Proper routine maintenance and cleaning
of the appliance can significantly extend its
trouble-free operation.
Cleaning after each use
●
Wipe
light stains with a damp cloth without
detergent. The use of dishwashing liquid
may cause a bluish surface discoloura-
tion. These persistent stains cannot al-
ways be removed right away, even using
a special cleaner.
●
Firmly adhering dirt can be carefully
removed with a scraper. Then wipe the
cooking surface with a damp cloth.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Scraper to clean the hob
When cleaning induction hobs, the
same principles apply as for glass
surfaces. Do not use under any cir-
cumstances any abrasive or caustic
cleaners or scouring powders or
pads! Do not use steam or pressure
cleaners.
Removing stains
●
Bright stains of pearl colour (residual
aluminium)
can be removed from the
cool hob using a special cleaning agent.
Limestone residue (eg. after evaporated
water) can be removed by vinegar or a
special cleaning agent.
●
Do not turn off the cooking zone when
removing sugar, food containing sugar,
plastic and aluminium foil. Immediately
and thoroughly scrape the leftovers off the
hot cooking zone using a sharp scraper.
Once the bulk of the stain is removed
the hob can be turned off and clean the
cooled off cooking zone with a special
cleaning agent.
Special cleaners are available in supermar-
kets, electrical and home appliance shops,
drug stores, as well as retail food shops and
kitchen showrooms. Scrapers can be pur-
chased in DIY and construction equipment
stores, as well as in shops carrying painting
accessories.
