7 Cleaning and maintenance
7.3 Cleaning the cooktop
i
When the cooktop extractor is in use the air inlet nozzle
must be fitted so that no small or light objects such as
fabric or paper cleaning cloths can be sucked in.
XX
Make sure that the cooktop is switched off (see the
“Operation” chapter).
XX
Wait until all cooking zones are cold.
XX
Remove all coarse dirt and food residues from the co oktop
using a glass ceramic scraper.
XX
Apply the cleaning agent to the cold cooktop.
XX
Spread the cleaning agent using kitchen roll or a clean cloth.
XX
Wipe the cooktop clean with a damp cloth.
XX
Dry the cooktop with a clean cloth.
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.
Special 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.
7.4 Cleaning the cooktop extractor
The air inlet nozzle and stainless steel grease filter absorb the
greasy particles from cooking vapours.

switched off (see the “Operation” chapter).

XX
Follow the enclosed manufacturer’s information.
XX
When conducting scheduled cleaning and maintenance, ensure
that the cooktop and cooktop extractor are fully switched off
