Cleaning and Care (Continued)
Problem Dirt
1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic, aluminium foil or other materials with a glass
scraper immediately and while still hot.
Important: 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.
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.
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 nish 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.
