6. Cleaning and Care

Note: to avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the appliance, do not use high-pressure or steam jet cleaning devices – risk of short circuits!

Caution, risk of burns! Before cleaning, please wait until the hob has cooled to hand-warm.

Please thoroughly clean the appliance before operating it for the first time and after every use.

Immediately remove food remains and burnt-in residues with the blade scraper. The blade is very sharp. Risk of injury! Only use the blade on the glass-ceramic hob. Do not use the blade casing as it may scratch the glass-ceramic.

Clean the hob with a damp, soft cloth or kitchen paper and the Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner or similar cleaner suitable for glass ceramic cooktops. Polish with a soft, dry cloth.

The Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner will coat the glass ceramic hob with a gleaming, dirt repellent film. This will help to preserve the attractive appearance of your hob over a long period of time and make it easier to clean as well.

Do not apply the cleaner while the hob is still hot as this may cause stains. Do not use scouring agents, abrasives or chemically aggressive cleaners (for example oven cleaner)! Do not use any nitro polishing agents for cleaning! Do not use any abrasive sponges either.

Food with a high sugar content (e.g. boiled-over milk, jam) can damage the surface of your hob. Immediately remove such food using the glass scraper.

Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases of some pots. These do not interfere with the operation of the glass ceramic hob.

Please refer to the enclosed brochure for further notes on cleaning.

You can order our blade scraper (Order No. 087670) and the Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner (Order No. 098690) from your Gaggenau dealer.

The frame of the hob should be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth and light soapy liquid or a commercially available stainless steel cleaner.

Cleaning the control knobs

Wipe with a damp cloth. Cloth should not be too wet, as moisture could penetrate behind the control knob.
