CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB | Figure 40 |
■■ Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.
■■ Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
■■ If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive or scouring powders can da- mage the glass surface of the hob.
■■ All traces of the cleaner must be remo- ved with a damp cloth.
■■ Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as possible.
■■ If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove.
This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could perma- nently pit the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
■■ Keep all objects that could be melted by the heat away from the top: plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or sugary products.
■■ If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using the scraper supplied with the ap- pliance to avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob.
■■ Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the ceramic surface.
■■ Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface perma- nently.
■■ ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT!
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using a special scraper tool take extra care to avoid damaging the seal at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.
