Daily cleaning
• Use a hob-cleaning product specifically de-
signed for ceramic hobs daily. If foodstuff is
not allowed to burn on it will be much easier
to clean off.
• Apply a small amount of hob cleaner in the
centre of each area to be cleaned.
• Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad
designed for non-stick saucepans and rub
vigorously until all marks are removed. This
may take a few minutes.
• Wipe off residues of cleaner with another
damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft
cloth.
• If hob cleaner is unavailable, one or more of
the cleaning agents below may be used
temporarily:
– Cream Cleaner
– Baking Soda
To remove more stubborn marks
• Cream cleaner may be used to clean off
more stubborn stains or to remove discolou-
ration.
• It may be necessary to rub the marks hard
for several minutes.
• Use a plastic pad designed for non-stick
saucepans with cream cleaner for removal
of more stubborn stains.
To remove burnt on foodstuff
• We strongly recommend the use of a
Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single
edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the
hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not
removed can cause permanent damage.
• Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
• Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an
angle of 30° to remove as much foodstuff as
possible.
• Use hob cleaner or cream cleaner to finish
off as directed above.
To remove discolourations or white
and silver marks
• These marks sometimes give the impres-
sion of being in or underneath the hob glass.
They can almost always be removed provi-
ded they have not become excessively burnt
on. Follow the instructions above under ‘To
remove more stubborn marks’.
• If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of
one part water to three parts Cream of Tarter
and leave on the discoloured areas over-
night. The marks should be easily removable
the next day provided they have not been
excessively burnt on. The paste should be
thoroughly washed off afterwards.
To reduce marking of the hob
• Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and
the cooking area is clean and dry before
cooking begins.
• Ensure saucepans are large enough to ac-
commodate food to avoid boil-over.
• If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as
they occur, but take care to avoid steam
burns.
• Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean
the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled
detergent on the hob surface, which will burn
and discolour the next time the hob is used.
Avoid the use of:
• Household detergents and bleaches.
