Ceramic surface
Wipe all coarse soiling off using a
damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need
to be removed with a shielded scraper
blade.
Then clean the hob with a suitable
proprietary ceramic and stainless steel
hob cleaner (see "Optional
accessories") applied with kitchen
paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply
cleaner whilst the hob is still hot, as this
could result in marking. Please follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
Finally, wipe the hob with a damp cloth,
then polish with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure
that all cleaner residues are removed.
Residues can burn onto the appliance
the next time it is used, and cause
damage to the ceramic surface.
Spots caused by limescale, water and
aluminium residues (spots with a
metalic appearance) can be removed
using the ceramic and stainless steel
hob cleaner.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zone while it is in use, first
switch off the appliance. Then carefully
scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminium residues from the hob whilst
they are still hot, using a shielded
scraper blade. Take care not to burn
yourself.
Allow the appliance to cool down, and
then clean as described above with a
suitable proprietary ceramic and
stainless steel hob cleaner.
