FAQ

  • Yes, AEG’s SaphirMatt® induction cooktops are up to 10 times more scratch resistant than conventional cooktops, and our SaphirMatt® SE is up to 3 times more resistant than conventional cooktops. SaphirMatt® has an etchedglass surface, while SaphirMatt® SE is provided with a special coating.

  • The advanced surface technology of SaphirMatt® induction hobs uses etched glass. It contains microscopic grooves that prevent scratches from becoming visible. The result: the surface is up to 10 times more scratch resistant than traditional hobs. 
    The SaphirMatt® SE features a special coating, which provides up to 3 times more scratch resistance.

  • Yes, the stainresistant surface of all SaphirMatt® induction hobs makes them easy to clean and helps maintain their newlooking appearance over time. The SaphirMatt® surface makes daily cleaning quick and easy. 

  • Wipe your SaphirMatt® hob after each use to keep it in top condition. Most spills, such as water marks or grease stains, can be wiped away once the hob has cooled. 
    Use a soft, damp cloth and, for a thorough clean, do not use abrasive cleaning materials such as abrasive cleansers or scouring pads, as these may scratch the surface. Be especially careful with any side trims: clean them with dishwashing detergent. Do not use mildly abrasive cleaning products, polishing detergents, unsuitable scrapers, or the rough side of a sponge on the side trims. 
    We recommend reading your SaphirMatt® manual for the exact cleaning instructions.
