MAINTENANCE
General
Clean the cooking appliance after each use.
You can use a mild cleaning agent for this - for
example, washing-up liquid. Always clean the
hobs after use. You can use a mild cleaning
agent, such as washing-up liquid, for this
purpose. Special cleaning agents for ceramic
hobs have the advantage that a thin film
remains on the glass surface so that over-
cooked food and lime scale are less likely to
get burnt into the hob, making it easier to
clean the next time.
It is best to let the hob cool down before
cleaning it. Over-cooked food containing a lot
of sugar and acids, such as apple sauce,
rhubarb or red cabbage are best removed
immediately with a damp dish cloth to prevent
them getting burnt into the hob. Be careful
with the hot cooking zone!
You can use a glass-scraper to remove
obstinate food residue.
Traces of metals (due to sliding pans) can be
difficult to remove.Special products are
available for removing traces of metal.
Never use
You should never use scouring agents. These
cause scratches in which lime deposits and
dirt can accumulate.
Never use sharp objects such as steel wool
and scourers.
