Caution, risk of burns! Before cleaning, please
wait until the hob has cooled to hand-warm.
Please thoroughly clean the appliance before
operating it for the first time and after every use.
Immediately remove food remains and burnt-in
residues with the blade scraper. The blade is very
sharp. Risk of injury! Only use the blade on the
glass-ceramic hob. Do not use the blade casing as
it may scratch the glass-ceramic.
Clean the hob with a damp, soft cloth or kitchen
paper and the Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner or
similar cleaner suitable for glass ceramic cooktops.
Polish with a soft, dry cloth.
The Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner will coat the
glass ceramic hob with a gleaming, dirt repellent
film. This will help to preserve the attractive
appearance of your hob over a long period of time
and make it easier to clean as well.
Do not apply the cleaner while the hob is still hot as
this may cause stains. Do not use scouring agents,
abrasives or chemically aggressive cleaners (for
example oven cleaner)! Do not use any nitro
polishing agents for cleaning! Do not use any
abrasive sponges either.
Food with a high sugar content (e.g. boiled-over
milk, jam) can damage the surface of your hob.
Immediately remove such food using the glass
scraper.
Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases
of some pots. These do not interfere with the
operation of the glass ceramic hob.
Please refer to the enclosed brochure for further
notes on cleaning.
You can order our blade scraper (Order No.
087670) and the Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner
(Order No. 098690) from your Gaggenau dealer.
The frame of the hob (only CK 481) should be
cleaned using a soft, damp cloth and light soapy
liquid or a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner.
