Cleaning and care
The information in this section provides help on how best to
care for your hob.
Suitable maintenance and cleaning products can be purchased
from the after-sales service or in our e-Shop.
Ceramic
Clean the hob after each use. This will prevent spills from
burning onto the ceramic.
Only clean the hob when it has cooled down sufficiently.
Use only cleaning agents which are suitable for glass ceramic.
Follow the cleaning instructions on the packaging.
Never use:
■ Undiluted washing-up liquid
■ Detergent intended for dishwashers
■ Scouring agents
■ Harsh cleaning agents such as oven spray or stain remover
■ Abrasive sponges
■ High-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners
Ground-in dirt can be best removed with a glass scraper,
available from retailers. Please note the manufacturer's
instructions.
You can also obtain a suitable glass scraper from our after-
sales service or from the e-Shop.
Using special sponges to clean glass ceramic achieves great
cleaning results.
Hob surround
To prevent damage to the hob surround, observe the following
instructions:
■ Use only hot soapy water.
■ Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
■ Do not use any sharp or abrasive agents.
■ Do not use the glass scraper.
Rectifying faults
Faults often have simple explanations. Please read the notes in
the table before calling the aftersales service.
The electronics of your hob are underneath the control panel.
For various reasons, the temperature in this area may rise
sharply.
In order that the electronics do not overheat, the hotplates are
switched off as and when necessary. The
”ƒ, ”…, or ”†
display appears alternately with the
• or œ residual heat
indicator.
