Before cleaning, make sure that the hob is cool and disconnected from the power supply.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powder, or sponges with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agents such as Vitroclen and ceramic glass scrapers are available from department stores and electrical specialists.
Cleaning after each use
•Slight,
•Burnt soiling has to be removed with a scraper. Afterwards wipe off the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and Vitroclen.
Stain removal
•Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be removed from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob cleaning agent such as Vitroclen.
•Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content, plastics, or kitchen foil must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this type of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause irreparable damage to the ceramic glass surface. When the surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth and Vitroclen.
•Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the ceramic glass surface, ensure they are recommended for use on ceramic hobs.
•Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones. Ensure that any residues are wiped off before the cooking zones are used again.
Special Problems
…when a chemical cleansing agent is not sufficient.
Use a glass scraper to aid cleaning.
…when dark stains have appeared.
…when metallic discolouration appears on the cooking surface.
…when the surface shows scratches or hollows.
If cleaning with a glass scraper and Vitroclen does not help, the décor has been cleaned with an unsuitable cleaning agent or scoured by rough ban bases.
The cleansing agents that were used were for the most part unsuitable. The discolouration can only be removed with difficulty using Vitroclen.
These flaws are caused by scratching or melted objects and cannot be removed, however, this does not reduce the performance of the hob.
