Resolution

Cleaning the glass surface of the hob

1. Different types of soilings:

Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, salt, sugar and food with sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to the hob. Take care to avoid burns.

Remove when the hob is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, and shiny metallic discoloration.

2. Daily cleaning:

Clean the hob regularly with a wet soft cloth. You can use a standard cleaning detergent. Wipe the glass surface dry with a microfibre cloth.

3. Persistent marks and stains:

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.

• 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.

Non-scratch sponges usually have a blue colour scouring pad and can be found in supermarkets.

NOTE: Strongly abrasive sponges, for example, yellow-green or yellow-black sponges, are NOT suitable!

To remove burned-in residues, use a special hob scraper on-the-glass surface at a flat angle and move the blade on the surface.

NOTE: Always use a scraper recommended for hobs with a glass surface.

Cleaning the Frame

Depending on the model, the hob is equipped with a Matt Black frame on the side.

Only clean the metal frame with a damp cloth, dishwashing liquid, and warm water.

Do not use: cleaning milk, polishing agents, glass scrapers, or the rough side of a sponge.

Dirt, such as crumbs and grains of salt, can accumulate in the gap between the glass surface and the side frame - It is best to clean the gap with a wooden toothpick.

Do not use sharp-edged knives or metal objects for cleaning - this could damage the frame.
