How to clean your Electrolux 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 special 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® glass 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.
• For persistent stains that cannot be removed by using the daily cleaning procedure, please follow these steps:
  • Use the MATT CARE Hob Cleaner, available in our Webshop.

Effectively remove grease and stubborn burnt-on food residue.
Matt Care Hob Cleaner is a dedicated deep cleaning solution for matt glass-ceramic induction hobs, including SaphirMatt® and SaphirMatt® SE hobs*. Remove tough grease and stubborn burnt-on food residue to maintain a pristine hob.

Note: The MATT CARE hob cleaner should only be used on the glass surface. To avoid discolorations, please make sure the MATT CARE hob cleaner does not get into contact with any other materials such as the metal frame or the kitchen countertop.

• Alternatively, you can use a mildly abrasive cream cleaner (e.g. Cif, Viss, Vim, Jif, or similar).
• Do not use standard cream cleaners – suitable for smooth glass ceramic – on SaphirMatt® surface. It will not be sufficiently clean.
• Apply the cleaner on the spoiled surface and let it soak in for at least 5 minutes.
• Apply moderate pressure and gently scrub the surface in circular movements with a soft, non-scratch sponge for several minutes.
• Wipe the hob with a wet, soft cloth to remove residues of the cleaning detergent.
• Wipe the glass surface dry with a microfibre cloth.
• If needed, repeat this procedure several times until all stains are vanished.

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.
