4.1 Cleaning the hob

Cleaning the glass ceramic hob

Light coloured marks from pans with 
aluminium bases can be easily cleaned off 
with a cloth moistened in vinegar.
After cooking, remove any burnt residues 
with the scraper provided; rinse with water 
and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. 
Regular use of the scraper considerably 
reduces the need for chemical detergents 
for the daily cleaning of the hob.

Dirt

 which may have fallen on the hob 

while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can 
scratch the hob when moving pans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the 
cooking surface immediately.

Changes in colour

 do not affect the 

operation and stability of the glass. These 
are not alterations to the material of the hob 
but just residues which have not been 
removed and have then carbonised.

Shiny surfaces

 can form due to the bases 

of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing 
on the surface, and due to the use of 
unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to 
remove using conventional cleaning 
products. It may be necessary to repeat the 
cleaning process several times. Use of 
corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan 
bases can wear away the decoration on 
the hob over time and contribute to the 
formation of stains.

Weekly cleaning

Clean and maintain the hob once a week 
using an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning 
product. Always follow the manufacturer’s 
instructions. The silicon in these products 
creates a protective, water-repellent 
membrane which also resists dirt. All marks 
stay on the membrane and can therefore be 
removed easily. After cleaning, dry the 
surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that 
there is no detergent left on the cooking 
surface as it might undergo an aggressive 
reaction when heated up and could modify 
the structure of the cooking surface.

Knobs

The knobs should be cleaned with a soft 
cloth dampened with lukewarm water, then 
dried carefully. They can be removed by 
pulling them out from their housings.

Do not use aggressive products 
containing alcohol or products for 
cleaning steel and glass when 
cleaning the knobs, as these 
products could cause permanent 
damage.
