Cleaning and care

Before cleaning, make sure the hob is cool and discon- nected 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 Hob Brite and ce- ramic hob scrapers are available from department stores, electrical specialist shops, and in drug and grocery stores.

Cleaning after each use

· Slight, non--burnt soiling can be wiped off with a damp cloth.

· Burnt soiling has to be removed with a scraper. Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth, and Hob Brite.

Stain removal

· Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be removed from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob cleaning agent such as Hob Brite when cool.

· Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content, plastics, or kitchen foil -- must be re- moved immediately with a scraper. If this type of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause ir- reparable damage to the ceramic surface. When the surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth and Hob Brite.

· Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.

· Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones. Ensure any residues are wiped off before the cooking zones are used again.
