Before cleaning, make sure that the hob is cool and
disconnected from the power supply.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents,
such as oven sprays, stain or rust
removers, scouring powder, or sponges
with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agents such as Vitroclen and
ceramic glass scrapers are available from
department stores and electrical specialists.
Cleaning after each use
•
Slight, non-burnt soiling can be wiped off with a
damp cloth.
•
Burnt soiling has to be removed with a scraper.
Afterwards wipe off the ceramic glass surface
with a damp cloth and Vitroclen.
Stain removal
•
Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can
be removed from the cooking zone with a
ceramic hob cleaning agent such as Vitroclen.
•
Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar
content, plastics, or kitchen foil must be
removed immediately with a scraper. If this type
of soilage is not removed immediately it can
cause irreparable damage to the ceramic glass
surface. When the surface has cooled wipe
over with a damp cloth and Vitroclen.
•
Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on
the ceramic glass surface, ensure they are
recommended for use on ceramic hobs.
•
Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking
zones. Ensure that any residues are wiped off
before the cooking zones are used again.
Special Problems
… when a chemical cleansing agent is not
sufficient.
Use a glass scraper to aid cleaning.
… when dark stains have appeared.
If cleaning with a glass scraper and Vitroclen does
not help, the décor has been cleaned with an
unsuitable cleaning agent or scoured by rough
ban bases.
… when metallic discolouration appears on the
cooking surface.
The cleansing agents that were used were for the
most part unsuitable. The discolouration can only
be removed with difficulty using Vitroclen.
… when the surface shows scratches or hollows.
These flaws are caused by scratching or melted
objects and cannot be removed, however, this
does not reduce the performance of the hob.
