Cleaning the appliance
Daily
For daily cleaning of your gas hob, it is best
to use a mild cleaning agent. Do not use too
much liquid, since this could get into the
burner.
Remains of food that has boiled over are to
be removed after the glass top has cooled
down.
Wrong:
A great deal of heat is
lost along the sides of
the saucepan.
Right:
The heat is evenly
distributed over the
base of the saucepan.
Weekly
Special maintenance products for ceramic
hobs, such as ATAG Shine* give the ceramic
hob a protective layer. Treat the hob with these
products also when obstinate stains have been
removed.
Stubborn stains
You can remove burnt-on stains, metal and
lime scale stains from the ceramic hob with
such special cleaning materials as ATAG
Shine*.
Remove stubborn stains with a glass scraper.
Please note:
Do not drop hot burner caps in cold water.
Because of the strong cooling they might get
damaged.
Boiled-over food residues
Remove boiled-over food residues with a glass
scraper. Molten plastic and sugar can also be
removed with a glass scraper.
Do not first allow the hob to cool completely.
Special maintenance products for ceramic
hobs (e.g. ATAG Shine*) form an antistatic
layer on the hob so that it attracts dust less
readily.
* Cleaning agents under the name ATAG Shine
can be obtained via the website at www.hps.nl,
where you will also find various cleaning and
operating tips.
