KIND OF CONTAMINATION
STRATEGY
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Daily contamination of the glass ceramic (fingerprints, stains
caused by food, non-sugary spillages).
1. Disconnect the appliance from
the mains (fuse-box).
2. Use a suitable detergent for
glass ceramic while the glass
ceramic is still warm - but not
hot!
3. Clean with a soft cloth/kitchen
paper and water, then dry
carefully.
4. Connect the appliance to the
mains again.
 While the appliance is
disconnected from the mains
the residual heat indicator does
not work, so the cooking zones
may be still hot. Be very careful.
 Scourers, nylon-scourers and
abrasive detergents can scratch
the glass ceramic. Read the
product information of these
detergents, so you know if they
are suitable to clean glass
ceramic.
 Do not leave any residuals of a
detergent on the glass ceramic
as it can turn stained
permanently.
Overcooked or melted food and stains caused by heated sugar-
containing food on the glass ceramic.
Remove such a contamination
immediately with a suitable glass
ceramic scraper. Beware of
cooking zones which are still hot!
1. Disconnect the appliance from
the mains (fuse-box).
2. Hold the scraper in a 30
0
-angle
and scrape off the
contamination to a cold area.
3. Clean the contaminated area
with a dish towel/kitchen paper.
4. Proceed as described in steps
2-4 in the previous section.
 Remove such contaminations
as soon as possible. When they
cool down on the glass ceramic,
they are difficult to remove and
may damage the glass ceramic
permanently.
 Be very careful when using the
scraper so that you do not cut
yourself (especially, when you
have removed the safety cover).
