clean the hob again as described under Item 2.

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

Shining areas are caused by wear from pan bottoms or unsuitable cleaning agents, especially when using
