Do not mix different cleaning products – they may 

react together with hazardous results.

All parts of the hob can be cleaned with hot soapy water – 

but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.

Remember to switch on the electricity supply before re-

using the hob.

Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe 

away any spillages immediately.

Daily Care

First of all, make sure that all residual heat indicators are 

off 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 final step, wipe the cooking 

surface with a clean, dry paper towel. 

Cleaning Spills

For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn off the 

unit 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.

Fig.3-1

3.  Cleaning Your Hob

Scrape major spills 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 residual heat indicator lights go off, 

follow the 

‘Daily care’

 procedure outlined above. 

Cleaning Burned-on Spills

Make sure that the residual heat indicators are off 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 off the burned-on 

matter 

(Fig.3-1)

.

Once you have removed as much as possible with the scraper, 

follow the 

‘Daily care’

 procedure outlined above. 

To Remove Metal Rub-off

Sliding pans on the hob – especially aluminium or copper 

pans – can leave marks on the surface. These marks often 

appear like scratches but can easily be removed using the 

procedure described previously for 

‘Cleaning Spills’

. If the 

rub-off marks are especially stubborn, use a cleaning cream 

together with the razor scraper, as described in 

‘Cleaning 

Burned-on Spills’

.
