general instructions
Please observe that the surfaces and controls are suscep-
tible to scratches and abrasions. All external surfaces and
controls can be cleaned using warm water with a little
washing-up liquid applied with a sponge or cloth. Wipe
the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.
Do not use cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents. Avoid abrasive
cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners or cream
cleaners and abrasive sponges as these will dam-
age the surface material. Furthermore, do not
use too much water when cleaning the controls.
Water could penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.
Cleaning the fan filter
The fan filter absorbs grease in cooking fumes and
requires cleaning now and then. How often depends
on how much the cooker is used and for how much the
fan is in operation. Remove and clean the filter regularly
and do not wait until the suction power of the fan begins
to decrease noticeably. Please note that an oversaturated
filter is a fire hazard.
To clean the filter, follow these steps:
Remove the filter by gently sliding it to the
1.
side (a). Pull it downward and push to the other
side. The filter will drop out (b).
Clean the filter. Either by hand, using a soft nylon
2.
brush, warm water and a little washing up liquid
- or - in a dishwasher where the filter should be
placed with the short side upright in the lower
basket, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed.
Wash using a 65 °C (145-150 °F) programme.
Depending on the cleaning agent used,
cleaning the filters in a dishwasher can
cause permanent discolouration to the
surface. However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.
Reinstall in reverse order of removal. Make
3.
sure the filter is securely engaged.
