S P E C I F I C S O I L I N G :
Heavy soiling and stains like limescale and shiny, mother-of-pearl type stains are best removed
when the hob is still slightly warm. Use commercial cleaning agents to clean the hob. Proceed as
outlined under Care and Maintenance.
First soak food which has boiled over with a wet cloth and then remove remaining soiling with
a special glass scraper for glass ceramic hobs. Then clean the hob again as described
under Care and Maintenance.
Burnt sugar and melted plastic must be removed immediately, when they are still hot with a glass
scraper. Then clean the hob again as described under Care and Maintenance.
Grains of dirt which may get onto the hob when you peel potatoes or clean lettuce may scratch
the surface of the hob when you move pots around. Make sure that no grains of dirt are left on
the hob.
Changes in the colour of the hob will not affect the function and the stability of the glass ceramic
material. These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were not
removed and which have burnt into the surface.
Shiny spots result when the base of the cookware rubs on the surface of the hob, particularly
when cookware with an aluminium base or unsuitable cleaning agents are used. They are difficult
to remove with standard cleaning agents. You may need to repeat the cleaning process several
times. In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using
aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.
