Risk of surface damage
Do not use these cleaners
– harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
– oven cleaners
– corrosive or aggressive cleaners, or those
containing chlorine
– cleaning agents with a high alcohol content
– hard and scratchy sponges, brushes or scouring
pads
If such an agent comes into contact with the appliance,
wash it off immediately with water.
Thoroughly wash out new sponge cloths before using
them!
Cleaning the appliance
Clean the appliance after each use once it has cooled
down. This will prevent residues from being burnt on.
Residues that have been burnt-on several times can be
difficult to remove.
Do not scrape burnt-on residues. Instead, leave them to
soak in water and washing-up liquid.
Remove the wire rack and fold the heating elements
upwards. Remove the lava stone tray and the lava
stones.
Appliance part/
surface Recommended cleaning
Wire rack and
frame Remove heavy soling with the cleaning
brush. Soak the wire rack in the sink.
Clean using the cleaning brush and wash-
ing-up liquid and dry thoroughly.
For heavy soiling, use our grill cleaning gel
(article number 00311761).
You can also clean the wire rack and the
frame in the dishwasher. This may cause
the wire rack and the frame to become
lighter in colour. This does not affect their
usability.
Stainless steel
tray Apply washing-up liquid with a soft, damp
cloth; dry with a soft cloth. Leave stubborn
dirt to soak.
For heavy soiling, use our stainless steel
cleaner (article no. 00311499) or grill
cleaning gel (article no. 00311761).
Lava stone tray Remove the lava stones. Clean the lava
stone tray in a sink of water and washing-
up liquid using a scrubbing brush; dry with
a soft cloth. Leave stubborn dirt to soak or
remove it using our grill cleaning gel (arti-
cle no. 00311761).
Lava stones Replace the lava stones when they have
turned black. This means that the lava
stones are saturated with fat, which may
generate a lot of smoke or ignite during
operation.
You can obtain compatible lava stones
from your specialist dealer (article no.
LV 030 000).
