5.1
Cleaning the Hob Surface
Clean spillages from the hob surface as soon as possible after
use. Always ensure the surface is cool enough before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth or paper towel to clean the surface. If the
spillage has dried on the surface, you may need to use a
specialist vitro-ceramic glass cleaner, which is available in most
supermarkets.
Do not use other abrasive cleaners and/or wire wool ect., as it
may scratch the ceramic glass surface of your hob.

Important!
•
When turning off the power supply of
hob, there will be no 'hot surface'
indication, but the cooking zone may still
be hot! Take extreme care.
•
Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers
and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may
scratch the glass. Read the label of the
cleaner or scourer before use.
•
Do not leave cleaning residue on the glass
surface: the glass may become stained.
•
Remove stains left by melts and sugary
food or spillovers as soon as possible. If
left to cool on the glass, they may be
difficult to remove or even permanently
damage the glass surface.
•
Cut hazard: When the safety cover is
retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-
sharp. Use with extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of children.
•
The hob may beep and turn Off
automatically, and the touch controls may
not function while there is liquid on them.
Make sure you wipe the touch control
area dry before turning the hob back on.
