Ceramic glass hob should be cleaned only when completely
cooled down, preferably after each use, otherwise even the
slightest stains remaining after cooking may burn into the hob
surface with each following use.
For regular maintenance of ceramic-glass hob use special
cleansing agents, produced in such way to create protective
film upon the surface.
Before each use, wipe the dust and other particles from the
hob - they may scratch the surface (Fig. 1).
Caution: use of steel wool, abrasive cleaning sponges, and
abrasive detergents can scratch the surface of the hob. The
surface may also be damaged by the use of aggressive sprays
and inappropriate liquid chemicals (Fig.1 and 2).
Pattern marks can be erased by the use of aggressive
cleansing agents or rough and damaged cookware bottoms
(Fig. 2).
Minor stains are removed with moist soft cloth; after that the
surface should be wiped dry (Fig. 3).
Water stains are removed with gentle vinegar solution, but you
must not wipe the frame with it (certain models only), since it
may lose its glow. Never use any aggressive sprays or
limestone removers (Fig. 3).
Major stains are removed with special ceramic-glass
cleansers. Follow strictly the manufacturer’s instructions.
Be careful to remove any remains of cleansing agent from the
hob surface, otherwise they will be heated during the next use
and can damage the hob (fig. 3).
Stubborn and burnt stains are removed with special ceramic-
glass scraper. Be careful, however, not to touch the hotplate
surface with the scraper handle (Fig. 4).
Handle the scraper with utmost care to avoid injuries!
Sugar and sugar containing food may permanently damage
the ceramic-glass hob surface (Fig.5), so the remains of sugar
and sugar containing food must be scraped off from the hob
surface immediately, when the hotplates are still hot (Fig. 4).
Discoloring of ceramic-glass hob has no effect whatsoever on
its operation and stability. In most cases, it appears as the
consequence of burnt in food remains, or as a result of
dragging pots and pans (especially aluminum or copper bottom
cookware) across the surface, and such discoloring is rather
hard to remove.
