Cleaning and care
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.
Marks caused by limescale, water and aluminium residues (shimmering, metallic 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.
