7 Cleaning and maintenance
If the cooktop is hot:
XX
remove stubborn residues of plastic, aluminium foil, sugar or
sweet dishes from the hot cooking zone immediately using a
glass ceramic scraper to prevent burning.
Heavy soiling
XX
Remove heavy soiling and marks (limescale marks, mother-
of-pearl-like shiny marks) using cleaning products while the
cooktop is still warm.
XX
Wipe off any food that boils over with a damp cloth.
XX
Remove any remaining dirt with the glass ceramic scraper.
XX
Always remove any seeds, crumbs or similar that fall onto the
cooktop during cooking immediately to prevent the surface
getting scratched.
Any changes in colour or glossy spots do not mean that the
cooktop is damaged. They do not affect the functionality of the
cooktop or the stability of the glass ceramic panel.
Changes in the colour of the cooktop are the result of residues
which have not been removed and have burnt on.
Glossy spots are the result of wear by the pan base, especially
if aluminium-based cookware or unsuitable cleaning agents are
used. These are difficult to remove.
