Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried

out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the

electricity supply.

Cleaning the Ceramic Hob

Before cleaning, make sure the hob is cool.

Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven

sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or

sponges with an abrasive effect.

Special cleaning agents such as Hob Brite and ceramic

hob scrapers are available from your local Service Force

Centre.

Cleaning after each use

Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp

cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a scraper.

Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth,

and Hob Brite.

If a chemical cleaner proves inadequate

Check whether the use of a scraper is more effective.

l

when darks stains occur

If the use of a scraper and a ceramic hob cleaner proves

unsuccessful, your hob surface may have been damaged by

using unsuitable cleaning agents, or by pan bases with a

scouring effect. This will not impair the efficiency of your

ceramic hob.

l

when metallic discolourations appear on

Pots and pans with unsuitable bottoms, or unsuitable cleaning

the cooking zone

agents have been used. The discolourations can only be

removed with considerable effort, using a ceramic glass

cleaner.

l

when the surface shows scratches

These may be caused by scraping or melted on objects and

cannot be removed. This will not impair the efficiency of your

ceramic hob

Stain removal

Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be removed

from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob cleaning agent

such as Hob Brite when cool.

Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content

must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this type

of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause

irreparable damage to the ceramic surface. When the

surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth and Hob

Brite.

Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the

ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the

manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.

Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones.

Ensure any residues are wiped off before the cooking

zones are used again.
