Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your induction hob in optimal condition.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, clean the hob surface with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
• Stubborn Stains: For burnt-on food or stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic hob scraper (held at a sharp angle) and a ceramic hob cleaner. Follow the product instructions.
• Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals as these can damage the glass surface. Do not use steam cleaners.
• Stainless Steel Frame: Clean the OptiFit stainless steel frame with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
• Before Cleaning: Always ensure the hob is cool and disconnected from the power supply before cleaning.

7. Troubleshooting

Before contacting customer service, please check the following common issues:

• Hob does not switch on: Check if the appliance is properly connected to the power supply. Ensure the child lock is not activated.
• Cooking zone not heating: Verify that a suitable induction-compatible pan is placed correctly on the zone. The pan base must cover at least the minimum diameter of the zone.
• Display shows 'F' or 'E' (Error Code): This indicates an error. Try switching the hob off and on again. If the error persists, consult the full user manual or contact customer service.
• Hob makes noise during operation: Induction hobs can produce a low humming, buzzing, or clicking sound, especially at high power settings or when using certain types of cookware. This is normal and not a fault.
• Automatic shutdown: If a cooking zone is left on for an extended period without adjustment, it may automatically switch off as a safety measure.
