Hob discoloration
Examples of possible damage
qDo not use the hob as a storage space or work surface. Salt, sugar or sand (can occur when vegetables are cleaned) can cause scratches on the hob.
qEnsure that no hard or sharp object is dropped onto the hob, otherwise it could become damaged as a result.
qOnly clean the hob when it has cooled, i.e., when the residual heat display no longer illuminates.
If used when the hotplate is hot, agents used for cleaning and care of the hotplate will cause stains.
qDo not use a protective foil on the hob.
qDo not put any hot pans on the display panels, the adjustment range or the hob surround.
Iridescent discoloration (metallic shimmer) is caused by particles rubbing off the bases of some pans or by using unsuitable cleaners. This can be removed with Sainsbury's CERAMIC Hob CLEANER or Hob Clean but it is a time+consuming job. Our customer service will remove such stains at a charge. Aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents will rub off the decor, causing dark patches.
Any food remains that were not removed and have become baked on will also cause hob discoloration.
They do not influence the function or stability of the glass ceramic.
Pitting caused by melted sugar or food with a high sugar content.
Scratches caused by salt, sugar, sand or rough pan bases.
