How to clean your AEG induction hob
Resolution
Cleaning of standard induction hob
1. Ensure that all cooking zones are cold.
2. Use the hob scraper to remove any food residue or stubborn stains. Make sure to remove any plastic or sugary substances immediately.
3. Use a soft, moist cloth and hob cleaner; we recommend Vitro Care. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials such as abrasive cleansers or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
4. Wipe the hob down with a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning of SaphirMatt® induction hob
Selected AEG induction hobs are made with a matt glass surface. Depending on your model, this may be stated on the hob. Follow the cleaning guidance below.
1. Ensure that all cooking zones are cold.
2. Clean the matt glass surface:
- Use the hob scraper to remove any food residue or stubborn stains. Make sure to remove any plastic or sugary substances immediately.
- Use a mild cleaner and an anti-scratch, delicate sponge. Do not use the classic yellow and green sponge as the aluminium particles on its hard layer may damage and discolour the glass.
3. Clean the side trims:
- Clean with dishwashing detergent. Do not use any abrasive cleaner, polishing detergents, scrapers, or the hard layer of a sponge to clean the side trim.
- If you have metal side rims, dirt and small particles of food may gather in the gap between the glass surface and the side trim. Use a wooden toothpick to clean the gap.
4. Wipe the hob down with a soft, dry cloth.
If you have an induction hob with an integrated extractor fan, you will also need to clean and regenerate the filter regularly.
