9. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
9.1 General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface
have no effect on how the hob operates.
• Use a special cleaning agent suitable for
the surface of the hob.
• Always use a scraper recommended for
hobs with a glass surface. Use the scraper
only as an additional tool for cleaning the
glass after the standard cleaning
procedure.
WARNING!
Do not use knives or any other sharp,
metal tools to clean the glass surface.
• For the metal side trim, use only a
dishwashing detergent with warm water.
Use a cloth to clean and wipe the trim.
WARNING!
Do not use the mildly abrasive
cleaning milk, any polishing
detergents, scrapers, or the hard layer
of a sponge to clean the side trim.
• The gap between the glass surface and
the side trim may gather dirt and small
particles of food. Use a wooden toothpick
to clean the gap between the glass
surface and the side trim.
WARNING!
Do not use any sharp metal tools to
clean the gap as they may widen the
gap and damage the side trim or the
glass surface.
9.2 Cleaning the hob
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, salt, sugar and food with sugar,
otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to
the hob. Take care to avoid burns. Use a
special hob scraper on the glass surface
at an acute angle and move the blade on
the surface.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently
cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat
stains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean
the hob with a moist cloth and a non-
abrasive detergent. After cleaning, wipe
the hob dry with a soft cloth.
• Remove shiny metallic discoloration:
use a solution of water with vinegar and
clean the glass surface with a cloth.
9.3 Cleaning the hood
Grid
The grid guides the air into the hood.
Additionally, it protects the hood system and
prevents foreign objects from falling inside by
accident. You can wash the grid manually or
in a dishwasher. Wipe the grid with a soft
cloth.
Drip tray
There is a drip tray located under the hood. It
collects the condensation created during
each cooking process. At any time water
might be dripping from the hood system into
the drip tray. Remember to empty the tray
regularly. The drip tray is visible from above
once you remove the grid and the filter
housing along with the filters.
Before you access the drip tray, make sure to
protect the contents of the drawer or cabinet
under the hob from accidental spillage.
1. To access the drip tray, first unlock the
center latch. Slide the latch in the
opposite direction. Take hold of the drip
tray with both hands and slide it carefully
to the right.
2. Move the drip tray vertically downwards.
Be careful not to spill the water.
