Light soiling
Light, non-sticky, soiling can be cleaned
with a damp cloth and a soft detergent or
warm, soapy water.
Heavy soiling
Serious dirt and grease should be cleaned
using an agent specially made for glass
ceramic. Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Sticky stains that have been burned in can
be removed by using a scraper with a
razor blade.
Rainbow colouring: Caused by pans that
have dry bits of grease on their base or
when grease gets between the glass and
the pan while cooking. Can be removed
from the surface of the glass using a nickel
scourer with water or with a special glass
ceramic cleaner.
Plastic objects, sugar, or food with a high
sugar content that are melted onto the hob
should be removed immediately while hot,
using a scraper.
When the glass's colour changes.
This does not affect its effectiveness or
stability, and is generally caused by inade-
quate cleaning or by poor-quality pans.
Metallic sheens are caused by metal pans
sliding over the glass. They can be remo-
ved by thorough cleaning with a special,
glass ceramic cleaning agent, although it
may be that the cleaning needs to be repe-
ated more than once.
Worn trim is the result of using abrasive
cleaning products or pans with uneven
bases which wear down the serigraphy.
Please note:
Take great care when using the
glass scraper. The blade can cause
injury!
If you do not use the scraper pro-
perly, the blade could break and pieces
may get stuck between the decorative
side-piece and the glass. If this hap-
pens, do not try to remove the pieces
with your hand - use pliers or a sharp-
pointed knife. (See fig. 8)
Only use the blade on the glass
ceramic surface - avoid the body of the
scraper coming into contact with the
glass, since this could scratch the
glass ceramic.
Use blades that are in perfect con-
ditions, and change the blade as soon
as it shows any sign of wear.
When you finish using the scra-
per, fold it away and cover it well up.
