Cleaning and c
ar
e
To avoid damaging your appliance
•
Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
•
Do not operate a cooking zone if there is no pan on the hob or if the pan is
empty.
•
Ceramic glass is very tough and resistant to temperature shock, but it is
not unbreakable. It can be damaged by a particularly sharp or hard object
dropping onto the hob.
•
Do not use pans made of cast iron or which have damaged bases with rough
edges or burrs. Scratching may occur if these pans are slid across the surface.
•
Do not place pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to the finish may
occur.
•
Avoid spilling acidic liquids, for example, vinegar, lemon juice and descaling
agents, onto the hob frame, since such liquids can cause dull spots.
•
If sugar or a preparation containing sugar comes into contact with a hot
cooking zone and melts, it should be cleaned off immediately with a kitchen
scraper while it is still hot. If allowed to cool, it may damage the surface when
removed.
•
Keep all items and materials that could melt, for example, plastics, aluminium
foil and oven foils, away from the ceramic glass surface. If something of this
nature melts onto the hob, it must be removed immediately with a scraper.
Problem dirt
1.
Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic,
aluminium foil or other materials with
a glass scraper immediately and while
still hot.
WARNING
There is a risk of burning yourself when the
glass scraper is used on a hot cooking zone:
2.
Clean the hob as normal when it has
cooled down.
NOTE
If the cooking zone on which something has
melted has been allowed to cool, warm it up
again for cleaning.
Scratches or dark blemishes on the ceramic
glass surface, caused, for example, by a
pan with sharp edges, cannot be removed.
However, they do not impair the function of
the hob.
