Cleaning
WARNING! Isolate the power supply to the built-in Hob and make sure that the built-in hob is cool.
Before cleaning your hob or performing maintenance, make sure that the cooking zones are set
to ‘OFF’. To extend the life of your hob, it must be cleaned frequently.
The built-in hob should preferable be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm (but not hot),
with warm water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and dried thoroughly. Avoid using
abrasive detergents, scourers, acidic cleaners such as lime scale remover, etc, as these could damage
the surface, and can result in development of rust and corrosion. If stains are particularly tough to
remove, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean induction hobs and follow the instructions
provided with the cleaner. Never use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.
Do not clean using caustic creams, abrasive cleaning powders, thick wire wool or hard tools.
Never use flammable agents like acid, thinner or petrol when cleaning your hob.
Do not clean your hob with a steam cleaner.
