• Use a special scraper for the glass.
8.2 Cleaning the hob
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar,
otherwise, the dirt can cause damage
to the hob. Take care to avoid burns.
Use a special hob scraper on the
glass surface at an acute angle and
move the blade on the surface.
• Remove when the hob is
sufficiently cool: limescale rings,
water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic
discoloration. Clean the hob with a
moist cloth and a non-abrasive
detergent. After cleaning, wipe the
hob dry with a soft cloth.
• Remove shiny metallic
discoloration: use a solution of water
with vinegar and clean the glass
surface with a cloth.
8.3 Cleaning the hood
Grid
The grid drives the air into the hood.
Additionally, it protects the hood system
and prevents foreign objects from falling
inside by accident. You can wash the
grid manually or in a dishwasher.
Water tank
There is a water tank located under the
hood. It collects the condensation
created during each cooking process.
Remember to empty the water tank
regularly.
Before you open the water tank, place a
container or a tray under it to collect
water. To open the water tank, slide the
latches out and open them one by one.
WARNING!
Make sure you do not let
water get inside the hood.
If water or other liquids spill inside the
hood system:
• switch off the hood in the first place,
• lift the grid and clean the hood area
carefully with a moist cloth or sponge
and a mild cleaning agent,
• wipe away the excess liquid gathered
on the bottom of the hood cavity using
a sponge or a dry cloth,
• switch on the hood, set the fan speed
level to 2 or higher and let it run for
some time to get rid of the remaining
moisture.
8.4 Cleaning the hood filter
The filter prevents grease particles from
getting into the hood system. Clean the
filter regularly and regenerate it
periodically.
Normal cleaning
Clean the filter as soon as the built-up
grease is visible. The cleaning frequency
depends on the amount of fat and oil
used in cooking. It is recommended to
clean the filter every 10-20 hours, or
more frequently, if needed.
1. Remove the filter and filter housing
carefully. They are located right
under the grid in the centre of the
hob.
