3. Cleaning and maintenance
Always clean the hob after it has cooled down. Even the slightest amount of dirt will burn into the surface the next time you switch it on. Use only recommended cleaners. Steel wool, cleaning sponges and abrasive powders scratch the surface. Do not use oven sprays as these are aggressive and damage the surface.
Light amounts of dirt
Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts of dirt from the surface. Rinse with cold water and then dry thoroughly. Use vinegar, lemon juice or a calcium dissolving agent to remove water stains from the surface.
Heavy dirt
Use “Sidol Special for Stainless Steel”, “Stahlfix” or “Cerafix” to remove heavy dirt. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to take effect, then wipe off completely with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly. Cleaning residues on the surface can become aggressive when the hob is reheated.
Persistent dirt and caking can best be removed with a glass scraper +. A glass scraper can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY shops or from our Customer service. Pay attention to handle on purchasing. If you buy a glass scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic as this will stick to the hot surface. Take care when using the scraper.
Food that contains sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic surface because they can produce scratches after they have become dry. In order to prevent such surface damage, such substances must be immediately removed with the glass scraper while they are still hot ,, .
Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface
These have no effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic. These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were not removed and which have burnt in.
Metallic iridescent discolouring is caused by wear from pan bottoms or unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can be removed with great difficulty with “Sidol Special for Stainless Steel” or “Stahlfix”. You may have to clean several times to remove the discolouring.
Worn decoration
Remove melted sugar and food containing sugar immediately while still hot with a glass scraper +, otherwise damage may be caused to the surface ,, .
If cared for properly, your hob will remain beautiful for many years and cleaning will be easier.
To care for your hob we recommend that you use “Cerafix”. The high silicone percentage of this cleaner creates a protective film which keeps off water and dirt. All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Clean your hob and the cooking zones regularly.
