6 Cleaning and care
Switch the hob off and let it cool down before you
clean it.
Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam
cleaner or similar appliance!
When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly
over the ON/OFF key. The hob may otherwise be
accidentally switched on.
Observe all safety and warning information.
Regular cleaning and maintenance ensures long
service life of the appliance and optimal function.

6.1 Glass ceramic hob
Important! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as
rough scouring agent, abrasive saucepan cleaners, rust
and stain removers etc.
Cleaning after use
1. Always clean the entire hob when it has become soiled.
It is recommended that you do so every time the hob is
used. Use a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid for
cleaning. Then dry the hob with a clean dry cloth to
ensure that there is no detergent left on the surface of
the hob.
Weekly cleaning
2. Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with
commercial glass ceramic cleaning agents. Please
follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. When
applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in a
protective film which is resistant to water and dirt. All the
dirt will remain on the film and can then easily be
removed. Then rub the hob dry with a clean cloth. Make
sure that no cleaning agent remains on the surface of
the hob since this will react aggressively when the hob
is heated up and will change the surface.
Carbon filters
6.2 Specific soiling
Heavy soiling and stains (lime
scaling and shiny, mother-of-pearl-
type stains) can best be removed
when the hob is still slightly warm.
Use commercial cleaning agents to
clean the hob. Proceed as outlined
under Item 2.
First soak food which has boiled over with a wet cloth
and then remove remaining soiling with a special glass
scraper for glass ceramic hobs. Then clean the hob again
as described under Item 2.
Burnt sugar and melted plastic must be removed
immediately, when they are still hot, with a glass scraper.
Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2.
Grains of sand which may get onto the hob when you
peel potatoes or clean lettuce may scratch the surface of
the hob when you move pots around. Make sure that no
grains of sand are left on the hob.
Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface have no
effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic.
These colour changes are not changes in the material
but food residues which were not removed and which
have burnt into the surface.
Shining areas are caused by wear from pan bottoms or
unsuitable cleaning agents, especially when using
cookware with aluminium bases or by unsuitable cleaning
agents. They are difficult to remove with standard
cleaning agents. You may need to repeat the cleaning
process several times. In time, the decoration will wear
off and dark stains will appear as a result of using
aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.
6.3 Air inlet flap and grease filters
The air inlet nozzle and grease filters absorb the greasy
particles from cooking vapours.
Make sure that the cooktop and cooktop extractor are
switched off (see the Operation chapter).
Wait until the fan indicator shows 0.
Remove the air inlet flap and the grease filters
Use a cleaner and degreaser in one.
Rinse the air inlet flap and grease filters with hot water.
Use a soft brush to clean the air inlet flap and grease
filters.
After cleaning, rinse the air inlet flap and grease filters
well.
Dry the air inlet flap and grease filters with a tea towel.
Remove the air inlet flap, by rotating the turnable part of 90
degrees. Then remove the air inlet flap by hand.
