CLEANING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Daily cleaning and proper maintenance
have crucial impact on the durability of your
ceramic plate.
Clean the ceramic plate observing
the same rules as for glass. Never
use abrasive or aggressive clean-
ing agents, scrubbing powders or
scratching sponges.
Cleaning the plate after every use
•
Wipe off slight, not-burnt patches of
dirt using damp cloth without cleaning
agent. Washing liquid can cause blue
di sco lo ra tion to appear on the plate. The
stub born stains often cannot be re mo-
ved after first cleaning, even if special
cleaning agents are used.
Remove larger patches of dirt, stron-
•
gly sticking to the plate using sharp
scrap per and wipe off the sur fa ce with
a damp cloth.

Removal of stains
•
Li ght pearly stains (aluminium re si du-
es) can be removed from cooled plate
using special cleaning agents. Cal ca-
re ous re si du es (i.e. boiled over wa ter)
can be re mo ved with vinegar or spe cial
cle aning agents.
•
Do not switch off the hotplate when re mo-
ving sugar, sugar-containing food, plastic
or aluminium foil! Immediately scrape off
the residuals (when still hot) from the
hotplate using a sharp scrap per. When
the dirt is removed you can switch off
the plate and clean it again after cooling
down using special cleaning agents.
Special cleaning agents can be bought in
supermarkets, special electromechanical
shops, drugstores and shops with kitchen
appliances. Sharp scrappers can be bought
in DIY shops, shops with building tools and
painting accessories.
