Cleaning and care

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!

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.

Specific soiling

Heavy soiling and stains 

 limescaling 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 in the colour

 of the hob will not affect the function and

the stability of the glass ceramic material. These colour changes
are not changes in the material but food residues which were not
removed and which have burnt into the surface.

Shiny spots

 result when the base of the cookware rubs on the

surface of the hob, particularly when cookware with an aluminium
base or unsuitable cleaning agents are used. 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.

Hob with fan

Cleaning the metal grease filter

Clean the metal grease filter at least once a month or when it is
covered with grease or when in intensive use. The filter can be
washed in the dishwasher or rinsed in a mild solution of dish
washing liquid.
To remove the filter, remove the covering of the filter and push
out upwards the U-shaped air-conducting sheet from stainless
steel from the filter. The filter can now be removed by pressing
down the lock that is placed in the shell handle.  
The filter can be washed in the dishwasher. It must be placed in
the dishwasher in vertical position. Please exclusively use rinse
agent that is compatible with aluminium, to avoid damage or
discoloration of the filter.
Do not place filter right beside glasses or white porcelain. 

Don't operate the fan without the grease filter!

After the cleaning of the filter, it can be reinserted to the fan.
Please ensure that the shell handle is still visible when the filter is
placed back. 
If possible, when cleaning the filter also clean the inside of the
fan with a cloth moistened with a mild solution of dish washing
liquid. Be vigilant about protruding components in the inside of
the fan.

Cleaning and care of the fan 

The fan should best be cleaned at every cleaning of the filter. 
Condensation water can accumulate under the filter when water
boils and evaporates if there is no lid on the pot, which is entirely
normal. Still, the water should be removed and the inside of the
fan should be cleaned. 
The ventilation holes in the covering ensure that even when the
fan is in standby mode and the cover is in place without the
blower fan running, residual moisture can evaporate from the
inside of the fan.
If irritating odors escape, please clean the filter and the inside of
the fan.
Clean the fan with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of
dish washing liquid.

Service

The filter must remain accessible. 
For active carbon filters, replace the carbon filter mats every 5-24
months.
For plasma filters, replace the filter mats every 5 years (max.).
