A steam cleaner is not to be used.
Switch the power to the hob off.
Apply a hob cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!).
Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
When the power to the hob is switched off, 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. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.
Never leave cleaning residue on the hob: the glass may become stained.
Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for hobs, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:
Switch the power to the hob off at the mechanical isolation switch.
Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and slowly scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the hob. Using the blade incorrectly or improperly can scratch the hob's surface.
Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.
Follow steps 2 to 3 for ‘Everyday Soiling on Glass’ above.
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 of a cleaning blade is retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.
Switch the power to the hob off.
Soak up the spill.
Wipe the control panel area with a clean damp sponge or cloth.
Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.
The hob may beep and turn itself off, and the control panel may not function while there is liquid on them. Make sure that you wipe the control panel area dry before turning the hob back on.
