Cleaning and care
To maintain the vitroceramic hob in good condition, it should be cleaned with suitable products and instruments. The vitroceramic hob should be cleaned each time it is used, when it is either lukewarm or cool. This makes cleaning easier and prevents dirt from accumulating through repeated use.
Never use aggressive cleaning products or products that can scratch the surfaces (the table below shows various common pro- ducts that may be used). The hob should also not be cleaned using
CLEANING AND CARING FOR THE GLASS
The degree of soiling should be taken into account when cleaning the glass, and the instruments and products used should vary depending on how dirty it is.

Light soiling
Light,
Heavy soiling
Serious spots and grease should be clea- ned using a cleaning agent especially made for vitroceramic hobs (for example, Vitroclen) following the manufacturer's ins- tructions.
Sticky stains that have been burned in can be removed by using a scraper with a razor blade.
Rainbow colouring: caused by cookware that has dry bits of grease on its base or when grease gets between the glass and the cookware while cooking. It can be removed from the surface of the glass using a nickel scouring pad with water or with a special vitroceramic cleaner (for example, Vitroclen).
Plastic objects, sugar or food with a high sugar content that are melted onto the hob should be removed immediately while hot
