Cleaning and care
Ceramic hob
Basically you can use the same clean¬
ing agents for the ceramic hob as you
would for ordinary glass surfaces. Nev'
er use scouring agents or pads, or
strong cleaners such as oven sprays
or stain removers, as these could harm
the surface.
# Clean after each use
Wipe oft any minor spills with just a
damp cloth. If the hob is cleaned with
for example washing up liquid, light
blue staining might occur. These
stains can be removed with one of the
proprietary agents mentioned,
although they can be stubborn, and it
may take several applications.
Hardened spills should be carefully
scraped off with a sharp blade, The
hob surface should then be rubbed
dean with a damp cloth.
# Light marks with a metallic sheen
{aluminium deposits) on the hob sur¬
face can be removed once the hob
has cooled down by using a suitable
proprietary cleaner.
Lime deposits on the ceramic surface,
caused for example by water boiling
over, can be removed with vinegar or a
proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.
# Removal of sugar or syrups, plast¬
ic or aluminium foil
On no account turn off the cooking
area affected, but scrape off the sugar
or other residue thoroughly from I he
hot hob with a sharp blade. Then
switch off the hob, and when it is cool.
Clean with a recommended cleaner.
• Suitable proprietary cleaners
There are proprietary cleaners on the
market for ceramic hobs. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Do not
apply to hobs when still hot. Always
make sure that every trace of cleaning
agent has been removed, as it could
have an adverse effect on the hob
when healed up. Some cleaners Incor¬
porate a silicone agent which acts as
a protective film on the ceramic hob.
However, cooking at high tempera¬
tures reduces the effect and the clean¬
er needs to be reapplied for renewed
effect.
