CAUTION! To avoid risk of injury, follow
these precautions when cleaning and
caring for the appliance:
•
Do not clean the cooktop using high pressure
cleaners or steam jets.
•
Before cleaning, wait until the residual heat
display has gone out.
•
The blade of the included glass scraper is very
sharp. Replace damaged blades immediately.
•
Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass
while the surface is hot, use only the blade
scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous
to your health. Heating the cleaner can
chemically attack and damage the surface.
Cleaning the glass ceramic
Clean the cooktop after every use. This prevents
food from being burnt into the cooktop surface.
Use the blade scraper to remove food residues and
grease splashes. Only use the blade on the glass
ceramic cooktop. Do not use the blade casing as it
may scratch the glass ceramic.
Use a glass ceramic cleaner and kitchen towel or a
soft, moist cloth to clean the surface when it has
cooled down.
Wipe the surface with a moist cloth and rub dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not apply the cleaner if the cooktop is hot. It can
become stained. Carefully remove any remaining
cleaner before heating up the cooktop.
Water marks can also be removed using lemon juice
or vinegar.
The glass ceramic cleaner will coat the glass
ceramic surface with a gleaming, dirt repellent film.
This will help to preserve the attractive appearance
of your cooktop over a long period of time and make
it easier to clean as well.
Do not use scouring, abrasive or chemically
aggressive cleaners (e.g. oven cleaner).
Do not use cleaners which contain sand or chlorine.
Do not use undiluted dishwashing or household
detergent. Do not use abrasive sponges or brushes.
Food with a high sugar content (e.g. boiled-over
milk, jam) can damage the surface of your cooktop.
Immediately remove such food using the glass
scraper.
Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the use of
unsuitable cleaning agents or abrasion from the
bases of some pots. These do not interfere with the
operation of the glass ceramic cooktop. Remove the
discoloration with glass ceramic cleaner.
Always keep the touch keys clean and dry. Food
residues and spills can impair the function of the
control panels.
Cleaning the stainless steel frame
Use a soft cloth and light soapy liquid or a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner to
clean the cooktop frame. Only wipe in the direction
of the brushed metal.
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaners.
Do not use the blade scraper, as it may scratch the
cooktop frame.
Do not use lemon or vinegar to clean the cooktop
frame. This could result in matt patches.
Cleaning the twist knob
Wipe the magnetic knob using lukewarm soapy
water only. Do not use any aggressive or abrasive
cleaners. The twist knob could be damaged if
cleaned in a dishwasher or immersed in soapy
water.
