Cleaning and care
To maintain the glass ceramic hob in good
condition, it should be cleaned with suita-
ble products. The glass ceramic hob
should be cleaned after each use, when it
is lukewarm or cool. This will make clea-
ning easier as it will avoid any build-up of
dirt from repeated use.
Never use aggressive cleaning products or
products that can scratch the surfaces
(see the table that shows various common
products that may be used). Steam-based
appliances should not be used to clean the
hob.
LOOKING AFTER THE GLASS
The degree of soiling should be taken into
account when cleaning, and the items and
products used should vary according to
this.
Light soiling
Light, non-sticky, soiling can be cleaned
with a damp cloth and a soft detergent or
warm, soapy water.
Heavy soiling
Serious dirt and grease should be cleaned
using an agent specially made for glass
ceramic (for example, Vitroclen). Please
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Sticky stains that have been burned in can
be removed by using a scraper with a
razor blade.
Rainbow colouring: Caused by pans that
have dry bits of grease on their base or
when grease gets between the glass and
the pan while cooking. Can be removed
from the surface of the glass using a nickel
scourer with water or with a special glass
ceramic cleaner (for example, Vitroclen).
Plastic objects, sugar, or food with a high
sugar content that are melted onto the hob
should be removed immediately while hot,
using a scraper.
