4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE HOB
REMARK: All the activities related to the cleaning of the ceramic plate must be performed
after the plate cools down to an ambient temperature.
4.1 Cleaning the ceramic plate
When cleaning the ceramic plate, it is necessary to follow the same rules as those for cleaning glass
surfaces. Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents, scrubbing sand, or sponges with
scratchy surfaces. Using such materials can cause irreparable scratches on the surface of the
ceramic plate.
4.2 Cleaning after each use
- Slight, not-scorched stains should be wiped off with a damp cloth without a cleaning agent.
Using dishwashing liquid may cause bluish discoloration. These persistent stains cannot always be
used at first try, even using a special cleaning agent.
- Sticky stains should be removed with a sharp scrubber. The surface should then be wiped with a
damp cloth with special protective agent.
Removing stains
Light stains, with a pearly color (aluminum residue) can be removed from a cold ceramic plate
with a special cleaning agent. Calcium residues (caused, e.g. by boiling water) can be removed
with vinegar or a special cleaning agent.
When removing sugar, food leavings containing sugar, plastics, or aluminum sheet, one must not
turn off a given heating field! It is necessary to immediately precisely scrape off the leaving (while
they are hot) with a sharp scraper from a hot heating field. After the stain is removed, one may
turn off the stove and clean the cooled ceramic plate with a special cleaning agent.
A cleaning agent must never be applied on a hot ceramic plate
- Cleaning of the hob grids
1.The fume exhaust grids should be cleaned with a damp cloth and a little dishwashing liquid, and
then wiped dry with a cloth.
2.It is not allowed to use abrasive or acidic cleaning agents to clean glass and decorative metal
parts
3.Cleaning should be performed only after the surface to be cleaned is cooled off, the same as in
the case of the ceramic plate.
4.A fume outlet made from enameled steel should be cleaned with sponge, after it cools off.
We take no responsibility for guarantee claims if the ceramic panel of cooker is not
operated properly.
Warning!
If you notice any cracks on the panel’s heating pads, shut down the cooker
immediately and call service.
4.3 Control and supervision over gas, electrical and ventilation systems

electrical and ventilation systems. The scope of inspection should cover:
- checking the technical condition of the aforementioned systems,
notifying the building administrator of any doubt concerning the technical condition of these
installations
