10.1 Cleaning the hob

To keep the hob in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after each use, first allowing it to cool.

10.1.1 Routine daily glass hob cleaning

When cleaning and car ing for glas s surfaces alway s use only specific products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Instructions for use: pour the product onto a da mp cloth and wipe ov er the surfac e, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

10.2 Cleaning instructions for an acid-etched glass hob

10.2.1 Grease

Use washing up liquid and a microfibre cloth.

10.2.2 Rings and encrustations

Use stainless steel cream or mildly a brasive creams ; leave the pro duct to act for a few minutes, then wipe away with a microfibre cloth.

10.2.3 Stubborn encrustati o ns

If using the microf ibre cloth is not enough, a brass wire sponge can be used together with stainless steel cream or standard abrasive creams available in shops.
To avoid encrustations which are difficult to remove, you are advised to clean the hob every time you finish cooking.

10.3 Cleaning the components
