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.

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
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
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.
5.2
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 chapter 5.1.
CLEANING AND CARE
Immediately after every soiling
Clean with conventional glass ceramic detergents immediately
after soiling and on a weekly basis
After cooking very greasy dishes; at least once a week. Clean
by hand (Do not put this part in the dishwasher!)
Clean when the fan power level indicator shows F. (Do not put
this part in the dishwasher!)
Every time you clean the grease filters (do not put this part in
the dishwasher!).
When some water overflows and flows in the air inlet opening.
Regenerate if odours have built up, extraction power is
dwindling or the fan power level indicator shows C. Every 2
years the carbon filters must be replaced.
